An affiliate of the REvil ransomware group, Yaroslav Vasinskyi, has been sentenced to 13 years and seven months in prison for conducting over 2500 ransomware attacks, demanding $700m in ransom payments, and using cryptocurrency for payments, following a global law enforcement investigation leading to his extradition from Poland to the US. FBI Director stated that cybercriminals will face consequences for attacking US organizations, exemplified by Vasinskyi's case, despite REvil group's operations being dismantled in 2022 after high-profile attacks such as the Colonial Pipeline incident in May 2021. ```
