Police raid homes of alleged hackers who attacked hospital systems» www.theverge.com/2023/3/ ··· n-policequote:
German and Ukrainian police raided the homes of individuals linked to a prominent cybercrime group that stole millions from large companies and organizations over the course of several years. The authorities worked with Europol and the FBI last month to investigate the residences of members of the hacking group, which often goes by the names Indrik Spider, Double Spider, and Grief. The group notably waged a ransomware attack on the Düsseldorf University Hospital in 2020 using its DoppelPaymer ransomware. At the time, German police blamed the attack for the death of a patient who had to be transferred to another hospital due to systemwide corruption. It also carried out an attack on the UK’s National Health Service in 2017 and took responsibility for the 2021 ransomware attack on the National Rifle Association. The news was reported earlier by The Associated Press. ... On February 28th, German and Ukrainian police conducted simultaneous raids on the homes belonging to two suspected members. However, Daniela Dässel, a spokesperson for Germany’s North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) State Police Force, tells The Verge that authorities haven’t made any arrests yet, and the suspects were released after questioning. Meanwhile, three Russian individuals with ties to the group are still wanted by international authorities. Both Germany and Ukraine are currently analyzing the seized evidence to locate other group members and determine their roles.
