The U.S. indicted Russian national Amin Timovich Stigal for his alleged role in cyberattacks targeting Ukrainian government computer networks in an operation from the Russian foreign military intelligence agency (GRU) prior to invading the country.
Stigal and members of the GRU used a U.S.-based company to distribute the WhisperGate pseudo-ransomware to systems at dozens of Ukrainian government entities to destroy data.
