Four members of REvil sentenced by Russian court

Kommersant reports that four individuals linked to the REvil ransomware group were tried and sentenced in St. Petersburg for illegal circulation of means of payment and, for two defendants, for using and distributing malicious programs. Arrested in January 2022 amid U.S.-Russia cooperation requests, the defendants received multi-year prison terms; the piece notes lack of confessions, alleged procedural errors, and raises questions about Russia's motives and potential impact on future Russian hacker activity against U.S. targets.
