A Ukrainian national, Yaroslav Vasinskyi, also known as Rabotnik, has been sentenced to 13 years and seven months in prison.
Vasinskyi orchestrated over 2,500 ransomware attacks worldwide and demanded over $700 million in ransom payments.
The Justice Department's international collaboration led to Vasinskyi's extradition from Poland to the United States.
The Department of Justice has obtained the final forfeiture of millions of dollars in ransom payments, further crippling the financial infrastructure supporting cybercrime.
