Germany has arrested a Russian national suspected of being a leading member of the Qilin ransomware group. The arrest followed his extradition from Japan earlier this month, according to BleepingComputer.
Why it matters: The arrest shows that ransomware suspects can be tracked across borders and extradited, which is relevant to Canadian organizations concerned about groups like Qilin.
