Russian cybercriminal Deniss Zolotarjovs has been charged in the United States with his involvement in a cybercrime organization known for extorting victims and laundering cryptocurrencies. The 33-year-old Moscow resident was indicted in Cincinnati, Ohio, on charges of conspiracy to launder money, wire fraud and Hobbes Act racketeering. Arrested in Georgia in December 2023 and recently extradited to the United States, Zolotarjovs is accused of being a key member of a cybercrime syndicate that stole sensitive data from victims and demanded ransom payments in cryptocurrency to prevent the disclosure of stolen information. The group also operates a website that leaks or auctions stolen data. Mr. Zolotachovs is said to have been actively involved in laundering cryptocurrency with these ransoms. This is the first time a member of the group has been extradited to the United States, highlighting international cooperation in the fight against cybercrime.
