Feds Target $100M ‘Goz Nym’ Cybercrime Network
Summary: U.S. and European law enforcement unsealed charges against 11 alleged members of the GozNym malware network, a syndicate suspected of stealing $100 million from more than 41,000 victims between October 2015 and December 2016. Prosecutors described the group as 'cybercrime as a service,' with members advertising specialized skills on Russian-language criminal forums and the GozNym trojan combining the Nymaim malware strain with the Gozi banking trojan.
What's compelling: The five Russian nationals charged in the case remain at large, and one alleged money mule manager, Farkhad Rauf Ogly Manokhim, escaped while on bail in Sri Lanka and fled back to Russia - so the infrastructure is disrupted but the operators are not in custody.
