Mikhail Vasiliev, an alleged member of the LockBit ransomware group, is being extradited to the United States from Bradford, Ontario. The thirty-three (33) year-old dual Russian-Canadian citizen was arrested in Canada on multiple charges related to involvement with LockBit. This came as an unsealed criminal complaint filed in the District of New Jersey charging Vasiliev was released. Vasiliev is charged with conspiracy to intentionally damage protected computers and to transmit ransom demands. Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco released a statement regarding the arrest stating, “This arrest is the result of over two-and-a-half-years of investigation into the LockBit ransomware group, which has harmed victims in the United States and around the world.” The arrest is the culmination of an FBI-led investigation against the LockBit group that has over 1,000 victims worldwide and has recently seen an increase in activity with the release of “LockBit 3.0,” the newest version of the destructive ransomware.
