Newly Unsealed Indictment Charges Ukrainian National with International Cybercrime Operation

“This case highlights the importance of the international cooperation that the Department of Justice and our partners use to dismantle modern cyber threats. As reflected in the number of potential victims and global breadth of this attack, cyber threats do not respect borders, which makes international cooperation all the more critical. I urge anyone who thinks they could be a victim to follow the FBI's guidance on how to report your potential exposure.”

“I applaud the hard work of the agents and prosecutors involved in this case as well as our international partners for their efforts to disrupt the Raccoon Infostealer and gather the evidence necessary for indictment and notification to potential victims. This type of malware feeds the cybercrime ecosystem, harvesting valuable information and allowing cyber criminals to steal from innocent Americans and citizens around the world. I urge the public to visit the FBI's Raccoon Infostealer website, find out if their email is within the stolen data, and file a victim complaint through the FBI's IC3 website.”

“Today's case is a further reminder the FBI will relentlessly pursue and bring to justice cyber criminals who seek to steal from the American public. We have once again leveraged our unique authorities, world-class capabilities, and enduring international partnerships to maximize impact against cyber threats. We will continue to use all available resources to disrupt these attacks and protect American citizens. If you believe you're a victim of this cybercrime, we urge you to visit raccoon.ic3.gov.”

“This case highlights the FBI's unwavering commitment to work closely with our law enforcement and private sector partners around the world to hold cybercriminals accountable for their actions and protect the American people from cybercrime. This case also serves as a reminder to public and private sector organizations of the importance to report internet crime and cyber threats to law enforcement as soon as possible. Working together is the only way we're going to stay ahead of rapidly changing cyber threats.”

“This indictment demonstrates the resolve and close cooperation of the Army Criminal Investigation Division and the FBI working jointly to protect and defend the United States. Army CID would also like to thank our law enforcement partners in Italy and the Netherlands.”
