The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a complaint to seize over $24m in cryptocurrency assets tied to Rustam Rafailevich Gallyamov, a Russian national accused of leading a cybercrime operation involving the distribution of the Qakbot malware. Federal prosecutors allege that the malware facilitated global ransomware attacks, compromising computers for further exploitation. Despite disruption efforts in 2023, Gallyamov allegedly continued his operations using alternative methods. The recent seizure aims to return the funds to victims, reflecting an internationally coordinated effort to disrupt cybercrime networks.
