Ransomware is a type of malware that threatens to publish a victim's personal data or block access if a ransom is not paid off. The defendants wired money from a company's account using stolen banking information that they obtained by deploying the malware, according to the court documents. Garland said in a statement that the indictments brought against the men show "that they cannot hide from the United States Department of Justice.”
