The Feds Say These Are the Russian Hackers Who Attacked US Water Utilities
The week was particularly chock-full of dramatic security news. In a separate incident, hackers claimed last week to have stolen and leaked more than a terabyte of data comprising Disney’s complete Slack archive. Federal prosecutors indicted a 20-year-old man on Tuesday for allegedly leading the violent and White supremacist Eastern European gang known as “Maniac Murder Cult,” or MKY. On Friday, the Treasury Department announced that it is imposing sanctions on two alleged Russian cybercriminals for their alleged involvement in the hacktivist group Cyber Army of Russia Reborn, or CARR, which rose to prominence this year due to its reckless and somewhat sloppy attacks on Western critical infrastructure, as well as its apparent ties to Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency. Those two sanctioned hackers are identified in Treasury’s statement for the first time as Yuliya Vladimirovna Pankratova and Denis Olegovich Degtyarenko.
