Ukrainian pleads guilty to running Raccoon Infostealer malware, agrees to pay nearly $1 million

The report summarizes that a Ukrainian national pleaded guilty to operating the Raccoon Infostealer malware, a malware-as-a-service that stole financial and identity data; law enforcement dismantled its infrastructure in 2022, later arrested the alleged administrator and recovered data containing more than 50 million unique credentials while operators reportedly returned with an updated, harder-to-detect version.
