Germany Doxes “UNKN,” Head of RU Ransomware Gangs REvil, GandCrab

German authorities have identified ‘UNKN,’ the elusive figure behind the notorious GandCrab and REvil ransomware gangs, as 31-year-old Russian national Daniil Maksimovich Shchukin. Shchukin, alongside Anatoly Sergeevitsch Kravchuk, orchestrated over 130 cyberattacks and extorted nearly $2 million euros from victims across Germany. This revelation, coupled with the U.S. Justice Department’s seizure of cryptocurrency linked to Shchukin’s activities, highlights the ongoing threat posed by these ransomware operations and their sophisticated tactics.
