Nine men, including eight Russians and one Ukrainian, indicted for their involvement in a cybercriminal network.
The network allegedly made over $100 million through ransomware attacks, targeting US hospitals.
FBI conducted a long-term investigation into the ransomware gang with ties to Russian intelligence.
Members of the gang discussed hacking a journalist investigating the poisoning of Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny.
The Treasury Department imposed sanctions on the indicted men, cutting off their access to the dollar.
The US and its allies have been actively disrupting ransomware gangs in Russia and Eastern Europe.
Despite no cooperation from Russia, the US has accused Russian hackers in custody, considering them for potential prisoner swaps.
The indicted men used hacking tools, TrickBot and Conti, affiliated with Russian-speaking cybercriminals.
Conti ransomware affected hundreds of organizations worldwide, including nearly 300 in the US.
