Maryland Federal Grandy Jury Indicts Amin Timovich Stigal<\/p>\n

By Kaila Hall<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On June 25, 2024, a Maryland Federal Grand Jury charged1<\/sup> Russian national Amin Timovich Stigal with conspiracy to hack into and destroy the Ukrainian Government\u2019s computer systems and data ahead of Russia\u2019s invasion in February 2022. Stigal allegedly attacked computer systems in countries that supported Ukraine, including the United States. Stigal currently remains at large. The U.S. District Court in Maryland issued a warrant for Stigal\u2019s arrest. The Department of State is offering a reward2<\/sup> of up to $10 million for information on Stigal\u2019s location or his malicious cyber activity.<\/p>\n

Stigal has been linked to several Russian cyberattacks against Ukraine and NATO-allied nations in recent years. From August 5, 2021, through February 3, 2022, Stigal and the Russian Federation\u2019s Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff (GRU) used the data-wiping malware WhisperGate to examine U.S. Federal Government computers in Maryland. The WhisperGate malware initially wipes all computer files, then proceeds to imitate ransomware by displaying a ransom note demanding $10,000 in Bitcoin. In the event that the ransom was paid, the computer data would be irretrievable, nonetheless. Per court documents from the U.S. District Court in Maryland, Stigal and GRU probed U.S. government websites and computers 63 times. The District Court did not disclose whether the probing of U.S. systems in Maryland was successful. The indictment stated that Stigal and the Russian military officers used fake identities, a global network of computers, and cryptocurrency to conceal their connection to the Russian government.<\/p>\n

The U.S. District Court in Maryland\u2019s indictment also pointed to an incident Stigal was involved in on January 13, 2022, in which he allegedly conspired with the GRU to use \u201cWhisperGate\u201d to launch cyber-attacks against the Ukrainian Government. Leading up to the invasion of Ukraine, the Russian military urged Stigal to hack into Ukrainian government computers that deal with matters of critical infrastructure,3<\/sup> agriculture, education, science, and emergency services. Stigal and the GRU targeted multiple Ukrainian government entities,4<\/sup> including the Ukrainian Ministry of International Affairs, the State Treasury, the Judiciary Administration, the State Portal for Digital Services, the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Agriculture, the State Service for Food Safety and Consumer Protection, the Ministry of Energy, the Accounting Chamber for Ukraine, the State Emergency Service, the State Forestry Agency, and the Motor Insurance Bureau.<\/p>\n

Federal prosecutors5<\/sup> alleged that the Ukrainian State Portal for Digital Services website was hacked and displayed a message saying, \u201cUkrainians! All information about you has become public, be afraid and expect the worst. This is for your past, present and future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Per U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, Stigal faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison if convicted. A federal district court judge will review such guidelines and determine the sentence if applicable.<\/p>\n

In response to the January 2022 WhisperGate incident, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg criticized the attacks, stating \u201cNATO has worked closely with Ukraine for years to help boost its cyber defences. NATO cyber experts in Brussels have been exchanging information with their Ukrainian counterparts on the current malicious cyber activities. Allied experts in country are also supporting the Ukrainian authorities on the ground. In the coming days, NATO and Ukraine will sign an agreement on enhanced cyber cooperation, including Ukrainian access to NATO\u2019s malware information sharing platform. NATO\u2019s strong political and practical support for Ukraine will continue.\u201d6<\/sup><\/p>\n

Following Stigal’s indictment, Attorney General Merrick Garland confirmed, \u201cThe Justice Department will continue to stand with Ukraine on every front in its fight against Russia\u2019s war of aggression, including by holding accountable those who support Russia\u2019s malicious cyber activity.\u201d Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen also indicated that \u201cthe Department will do its part to prevent and disrupt such malicious behavior that relies upon online services or infrastructure in the U.S., or that targets U.S. victims.\u201d Assistant Attorney General also noted the Justice Department would \u201calso identify, pursue, and eventually hold to account those responsible for Russia\u2019s malicious actions, including the cybercriminals that the Russian government cultivates in furtherance of its malign agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Russian Embassy in Washington D.C. has not released a statement regarding the indictment. The indictment was announced amid a series of diplomatic talks between the United States and Russia on cyber-attacks.<\/p>\n

On January 14, 2022, at the request of the United States, Russia\u2019s Federal Security Service (FSB) conducted7<\/sup> raids and arrested fourteen alleged members of REvil, a Russian-based ransomware crime group. The FSB announced it had also seized 426 million rubles or $600,000 of computer equipment. In June 2021, U.S. President Joseph Biden met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva and demanded Putin\u2019s cooperation in combating cyber-attacks and ransomware. A month later, Biden warned Putin that Russia would face severe consequences if it did not act promptly to neutralize ransomware actors and threats. In the months since Biden\u2019s initial meeting with Putin, American officials have reiterated their requests for anti-cybercrime cooperation. The U.S. and Russia have established an \u201cexpert group\u201d to address cyber-attacks. In February 2023, another cyber-attack attributed to TA471 (UAC-0056), a Russian-allied cyber threat actor, also used WhisperGate to target and destroy Ukranian government entities\u2019 computer systems. TA471 has also attacked multiple NATO member states that support Ukraine.<\/p>\n
