Suspected Qilin ransomware member arrested in Japan

Original: qilin

Japanese authorities have detained a Russian national identified as a central member of the Qilin ransomware group, with the National Police Agency explaining the arrest. Reports say the man is facing extradition proceedings. The case is drawing attention because Qilin is an international hacking group behind ransomware attacks on organisations in Japan and worldwide.

Why now: Japanese police have just announced the detention of a core member of the Qilin ransomware group, a rare arrest in a high-profile cybercrime case.
