DOJ says ransomware gang tapped into Russian government databases

U.S. prosecutors have accused a ransomware gang of contributing to corruption within the Russian government, claiming that the group's activities enabled its leaders to evade taxes and escape military conscription. This assertion highlights the intersection of cybercrime and state corruption, suggesting that the gang's operations not only undermine financial systems but also have broader implications for governance in Russia.
