"The criminal group used a type of malware known as "Dridex," which worked to evade common anti-virus software and spread through emailed phishing campaigns. The group also stole an estimated $70 million using a similar malware known as "Zeus.""
"The State Department has offered a $5 million reward for information on [the group's leader, Maksim] Yakubets."
The U.S. Treasury has removed three Russian companies with alleged ties to the hacking group Evil Corp from its sanctions list. The move comes shortly after top-level meetings between Russian and U.S. executive officials. Its cause has not been confirmed.
