Raccoon Stealer malware operator gets 5 years in prison after guilty plea

**Executive summary:** Ukrainian national Mark Sokolovsky was sentenced to five years for operating Raccoon Stealer, a malware-as-a-service infostealer that stole credentials, cryptocurrency wallets, payment and email data and reportedly compromised over 52 million credentials; law enforcement dismantled its infrastructure, created a victim lookup site, and secured restitution, but variants of the malware have resurfaced since the takedown.
