US unseals indictment against alleged operators of Russian bulletproof hosting service
The Russians face multiple charges for allegedly providing cybercriminals with infrastructure and tech support through the St. Petersburg-based business Media Land and a sister company, ML Cloud.
Federal prosecutors on Tuesday unsealed an indictment against three Russians associated with a bulletproof hosting provider sanctioned by the U.S. and two allies in November. The U.S. government also posted a reward of up to $10 million for information in the case.
The Russians face multiple charges for allegedly providing cybercriminals with infrastructure and tech support through the St. Petersburg-based business Media Land and a sister company, ML Cloud.
Aleksandr Volosovik aka "Yalishanda," owned Media Land, while Yulia Pankova owned ML Cloud, prosecutors said Tuesday. The third defendant, Kirill Zatolokin, was responsible for collecting payments for Media Land and coordinating services with cybercriminals, authorities said in announcing the sanctions last year.
