The U.S. State Department and FBI on Tuesday announced a $3 million reward for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Russian national Evgeniy Bogachev, the highest bounty U.S. authorities have ever offered in a cyber case. The Federal Bureau of Investigation also issued a "Wanted" poster for Bogachev, who is charged in the United States with running a computer attack network called GameOver Zeus that allegedly stole more than $100 million from online bank accounts.
"This was a worldwide infection, but it also had law enforcement worldwide working to combat it and bring to justice the criminal organization behind it,"Joseph Demarest, head of the FBI's cyber crime division, said in a statement. The agency is aware of 60 different cyber threat groups linked to nation-states, Demarest said. He did not identify which countries were believed to be behind these groups.
