Hot Take:

Well, it looks like REvil's not-so-merry band of cyber pirates just lost their first mate, Yaroslav Vasinskyi, to the brig. With a treasure chest of $16 million in restitution and an extended vacation behind bars, it's safe to say that Rabotnik's hacking days are on ice. Talk about a "Ransomware's Most Wanted" episode come to life!
