A Ukrainian man charged last year with conducting one of the worst ransomware attacks against American targets has been extradited to the United States and made a court appearance on Wednesday, the US Justice Department said.
"According to an August 2021 indictment, Yaroslav Vasinskyi, 22, accessed the internal computer networks of several victim companies and deployed Sodinokibi/REvil ransomware to encrypt the data on the computers of victim companies," the Justice Department said in a statement.
Vasinskyi was allegedly responsible for the July 2021 ransomware attack against Florida software provider Kasey, the department said.
