US unseals indictment against alleged operators of Russian bulletproof hosting service

AI Summary

The U.S. unsealed an indictment against alleged operators of Media Land and its sister company ML Cloud, a St. Petersburg-based Russian bulletproof hosting provider accused of supplying cybercriminals with resilient infrastructure and technical support. Bulletproof hosters are a critical enabler of ransomware, phishing, and malware distribution campaigns by shielding criminal infrastructure from takedowns. The indictment represents a continued DOJ effort to target cybercrime supply-chain actors rather than solely end operators.
