The U.S. is offering up to $10 million for information on state hackers tied to the RedLine malware and its creator, Maxim Rudometov, associated with attacks on U.S. infrastructure.
Maxim Rudometov, a Russian national, developed the information stealer malware RedLine and is being sought by U.S. authorities for cyber operations on critical infrastructure in the U.S.
The reward is part of the US Department of State's Rewards for Justice program aiming to deter foreign government hackers targeting U.S. entities.
An international operation led by Eurojust dismantled the RedLine and META malware infrastructure, affecting millions of victims worldwide and led to arrests in Belgium, seizure of servers in the Netherlands, and cooperation from multiple countries.
