U.S. Offers $10 Million Bounty for Three Russian Hackers
The U.S. State Department is offering a $10 million reward for information leading to the identification or location of three Russian FSB hackers: Marat Valeryevich Tyukov, Mikhail Mikhailovich Gavrilov, and Pavel Aleksandrovich Akulov. They’re accused of cyberattacks targeting U.S. critical infrastructure and global energy companies, exploiting a Cisco vulnerability (CVE-2018-0171) to access networks and steal data. Though patched in 2018, vulnerable devices remain, posing a continuing threat. The reward aims to disrupt these attacks and bring the perpetrators to justice.
