Ukrainian pleads guilty to operating Raccoon Stealer malware

The report describes the Raccoon Stealer infostealer operation run as a malware-as-a-service by Mark Sokolovsky and associates, which stole credentials, payment cards, crypto wallet data and other sensitive information at scale (U.S. authorities identified over 50 million stolen items). Sokolovsky was arrested, extradited, and pleaded guilty; the FBI dismantled infrastructure and published a portal to check seized data, but the operation has been observed relaunching, indicating an ongoing threat from variants and affiliates.
