Japan hands Russia-born Qilin hacker suspect to Germany

Original: 👁 Спецоперації. Японія передала Німеччині росіянина з хакерської групи Qilin. Про це повідомив міністр внутрішніх справ

Japan has extradited to Germany a Russian national suspected of a leading role in the Qilin hacking group. North Rhine-Westphalia interior minister Herbert Reul said the 28-year-old, identified as Vladimir K., was transferred after German investigators secretly surveilled him for several months. The case highlights growing international cooperation against ransomware gangs.

Why now: A rare Japan-to-Germany extradition of a suspected major ransomware operator is newsworthy amid rising cybercrime crackdowns.
