A trio of Russian hackers is probably about to find out who their friends really are. The U.S. Department of State announced a $10 million bounty for information about the hackers, who "conducted malicious cyber activities against U.S. critical infrastructure on behalf of the Russian government," via its Rewards for Justice program.
The alleged hackers are Marat Valeryevich Tyukov, Mikhail Mikhailovich Gavrilov, and Pavel Aleksandrovich Akulovof. The State Department said in the X post announcing the bounty that the trio are officers in Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) who "targeted more than 500 foreign energy companies in 135 other countries."
