The U.S. Justice Department has widened its indictment of Russians in the so-called ‘WhisperGate’ malware attack aimed at destroying computer systems in Ukraine and 26 NATO allies including the United States.
A photo of Russian suspects wanted by the FBI involved in a conspiracy to commit criminal cyber activities against Ukrainian government systems is displayed during a press conference at the Office of the United States Attorney in Baltimore, Thursday, Sept. 5, 2024. –
“Seeking to sap the morale of the Ukrainian public, the defendants also stole and leaked the personal data of thousands of Ukrainian civilians, including by posting patient health information and other sensitive private data for sale online and then taunting those victims,” said Matthew Olsen, assistant attorney general for national security.
“They targeted computers around the world and used the computer infrastructures of an unwitting U.S.-based company to conduct the WhisperGate attacks," Olsen said."They went on to target computer systems in other nations supporting Ukraine in its fight for survival. Ultimately, their targets included computer systems in 26 NATO partners, including the United States.”
