An Estonian man who participated in at least 13 ransomeware attacks has been sentenced to 5.5 years in prison. ZDNet reports that Maksim Berezan was arrested in Latvia in November 2020 and extradited to the U.S. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud affecting a financial institution and conspiracy to commit access device fraud and computer intrusions in April 2021. The DOJ says a "post-extradition investigation determined that Berezan had participated in at least 13 ransomware attacks, seven of which were against U.S. victims, and that approximately $11 million in ransome payments flowed into cryptocurrency wallets that he controlled." Investigators also found "electronic devices storing passphrases to bitcoin wallets that contained bitcoin worth approximately $1.7 million, which has been forfeited," the DOJ says. The ransomeware attacks caused an estimated $53 million in losses, and he was ordered to pay $36 million in restitution.
