An Iranian National has found an international ransomware and forced to include Robinhood Rancemware in the US for its participation in the forced recovery scheme.
Sina Gholinjad (aka Sina Guff), 37, and their co-speculators have stated that they have dissolved computer networks of various organizations in the United States and encrypted files encrypted with robinhood ranges to demand bitcoin ransom payment.
Gholinjad, who was arrested in North Carolina in early January, convicted a count of computer fraud and misuse and a count of conspiracy for wire fraud. He faces a maximum of 30 -year jail sentence. He is scheduled for punishment in August 2025.
The US Department of Justice (DoJ) said, “These cyber attacks caused significant disruption and millions of damage, including the city of Greenville, Northern Carolina and Baltimore, Maryland.”
“Baltimore lost more than $ 19 million from damage to its computer network and resulted in many essential city services, including online services for the processing of property, water bills, parking quotes and other revenue-generating functions, which lasted for several months.”
According to court documents, Gholinejad and others maintained and maintained unauthorized access to the victim’s computer network between January 2019 and March 2024, after which sensitive information was copied to the virtual private server under their control and the ransomware strain was deployed.
The sick income is known as chain-hoping, by transferring assets through cryptocurrency mixing services and a variety of cryptocurrency. The danger actors also hidden their identity and activities using virtual private networks and servers.
Robbinhood was one of the cybercrime actors to bring out his own weak driver (byvd) attacks, appointing a valid but weak gigabyte driver (GDRV.SYS) to increase privileges and increase safety software.
“Cybercrime is not a aggrieved crime-it is a direct attack on our communities, as seen in this case. Gholinjad and his co-ancients orcasted a ransomware scheme, which disrupted life, businesses and local governments, and resulted in the loss of tens of mills for dizziness for northern burn.”
