A Ukrainian national has pleaded guilty in the United States for helping carry out Conti ransomware attacks that hit victims in the U.S. and other countries. The Justice Department said Oleksii Lytvynenko admitted joining the Conti conspiracy in 2021, possessing data stolen from 12 victims, and helping code a loader, malware used to install tools needed for ransomware intrusions. Prosecutors say Conti targeted more than 1,000 victims worldwide and collected over $150 million before the group fragmented in 2022.
