Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has identified the real identities of two key leaders from the now-defunct REvil ransomware-as-a-service operation. The cybercriminals were linked to attacks against German organizations, marking a significant breakthrough in international cybercrime investigations.
The BKA connected these individuals to ransomware attacks targeting German entities, though the specific scope and timeline of these domestic incidents remain under investigation. REvil was one of the most prolific ransomware groups before its operations ceased.
