The State Department has announced a $ 2 million reward for information that will lead to the arrests and trial of two Ukrainian cybercriminals, Artem Radchenko and Oleksandr Eremenko. This was announced by the head of the US Department of State Michael Pompeo

“Cybercriminals do not respect or respect the rule of law in any country. As their criminal capabilities spread throughout the world, we welcome the cooperation and coordination of all governments to bring these criminals to justice and protect innocent citizens around the world,” he says.

In January 2020, the US Secret Service conducted an investigation, as a result of which charges were brought against Radchenko and Eremenko on 16 counts.

It was about collusion in securities fraud, electronic transactions, as well as computer fraud. "The indictment alleges that Radchenko and Eremenko hacked the EDGAR system of the US Securities and Exchange Commission and stole thousands of confidential files, which were then illegally sold for profit," the secretary of state said.
