Lockbit勒索软件开发人员在全球镇压中引渡给我们

美国司法部（DOJ）于3月14日宣布，双重俄罗斯和以色列公民的罗斯蒂斯拉夫窗格已被引渡到美国，因其据称是Lockbit勒索软件集团的开发商而面临指控。

A Lockbit ransomware developer has been extradited to the U.S. and admitted to coding and consulting for the cybercriminal group in exchange for cryptocurrency payments.

Lockbit勒索软件开发人员已被引渡到美国，并接受了网络犯罪集团的编码和咨询，以换取加密货币付款。

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on March 14 that Rostislav Panev, a dual Russian and Israeli citizen, has been extradited to the United States to face charges for his alleged role in developing the Lockbit ransomware. The 51-year-old developer was arrested in Israel in August following a U.S. provisional arrest request and appeared in Newark before U.S. Magistrate Judge André M. Espinosa, where he was detained pending trial.

美国司法部（DOJ）于3月14日宣布，双重俄罗斯和以色列公民的罗斯蒂斯拉夫窗格已被引渡到美国，因其涉嫌在开发Lockbit勒索软件中的作用而面临指控。这位51岁的开发商在美国临时逮捕请求后于8月在以色列被捕，并在美国地方法院法官安德烈·埃斯皮诺萨（AndréM。Espinosa）出庭，在那里他被拘留，待审判。

According to court documents, Panev worked as a developer for Lockbit from its inception in 2019 until February 2024. He allegedly contributed to the development of malware used by affiliates to disable antivirus software, encrypt victim networks, and spread ransomware across multiple devices. Authorities discovered administrator credentials on Panev’s computer linked to Lockbit’s dark web repositories and control panel. The DOJ elaborated:

根据法庭文件，帕内夫（Panev）从2019年到2024年2月从洛克比特（Lockbit）担任开发商。当局在panev的计算机上发现了管理员凭证，这些计算机链接到洛克蒂特的深色网络存储库和控制面板。司法部阐述：

The primary Lockbit administrator made a series of transfers of cryptocurrency, laundered through one or more illicit cryptocurrency mixing services, of approximately $10,000 per month to a cryptocurrency wallet owned by Panev. Those transfers amounted to over $230,000 during that period.

主要的Lockbit管理员进行了一系列的加密货币转让，通过一种或多种非法加密货币混合服务进行了洗钱，每月约10,000美元，到由Panev拥有的加密货币钱包。在此期间，这些转移总计超过230,000美元。

Following his arrest, Panev reportedly admitted his role in Lockbit’s operations, with the DOJ stating: “Panev admitted to having performed coding, development, and consulting work for the Lockbit group and to having received regular payments in cryptocurrency for that work, consistent with the transfers identified by U.S. authorities.”

据报道，帕内夫（Panev）被捕后，承认他在洛克比特（Lockbit）的行动中的角色，司法部说：“帕内夫（Panev）承认已经为洛克比特集团（Lockbit Group）执行了编码，开发和咨询工作，并在为这项工作中定期收取了该工作的定期付款，与美国当局确定的转让人一致。”

Panev’s extradition is part of a broader international effort to dismantle Lockbit, which was significantly disrupted in February 2024 by a multinational law enforcement operation. Authorities seized Lockbit’s servers and public-facing websites, severely impacting its ability to conduct ransomware attacks.

Panev的引渡是拆除洛克比特（Lockbit）的更广泛国际努力的一部分，跨国执法行动在2024年2月被大大破坏。当局抓住了洛克比特的服务器和面向公共的网站，严重影响了其进行勒索软件攻击的能力。

Several affiliates, including Mikhail Vasiliev and Ruslan Astamirov, have already pleaded guilty in New Jersey, while key figures like Lockbit’s primary administrator, Dmitry Yuryevich Khoroshev, remain at large. The U.S. Department of State is offering up to $10 million in rewards for information leading to the arrests of Lockbit leaders. Victims of the ransomware group are encouraged to report incidents to law enforcement, as decryption tools may be available to restore affected systems.

包括Mikhail Vasiliev和Ruslan Astamirov在内的几家分支机构已经在新泽西州认罪，而Lockbit的主要管理员Dmitry Yuryevich Khoroshev等关键人物仍然是整个。美国国务院将提供高达1000万美元的奖励，以获取导致洛克比特领导人被捕的信息。鼓励勒索软件集团的受害者向执法报告事件，因为可以使用解密工具来恢复受影响的系统。
