A man accused of being connected to the Russia-linked REvil ransomware group responsible for cyberattacks on organizations including US-based software company Kaseya, has been extradited from Poland and arraigned in a Dallas court.
In November last year, the US Department of Justice charged the man, 22-year-old Yaroslav Vasinskyi, of being behind the July 2021 ransomware attack against Kaseya. Vasinskyi, a Ukrainian national, was taken into custody in Poland and transported to Dallas, where he arrived on March 3.
