The US Department of Justice (DOJ) unsealed charges against six hackers who allegedly are part of Sandworm, a Russian military intelligence group responsible for a string of damaging and unprecedented acts of malicious digital activity. The breadth of crimes that DOJ accuses the hackers of committing is extensive, from shutting down Ukraine’s power grid — twice — to the launch of faux ransomware NotPetya, which caused billions of dollars in damages globally, to devastating cyberattacks on the 2018 Olympics in South Korea.
