Kuwait arrests man part of international ransomware network

The interior ministry confirmed the arrest of a person as part of an international operation against suspects who reportedly carried out cyber-attacks in several countries including Kuwait.

International investigators had arrested seven people in global raids targeting cyber criminals behind ransomware attacks worth more than half a million euros.

Two people were arrested last Thursday in Romania and another in Kuwait, while three were held in South Korea and one in Poland during the months-long operation dubbed “GoldDust”. The arrests were linked to the Russian-based hacker group REvil, also known as Sodinokibi, and the ransomware group GandCrab.
