Australia has imposed targeted financial sanctions and travel bans on three Russian citizens for their involvement in the Evil Corp cybercrime group. Maksim Viktorovich Yakubets, Igor Olegovich Turashev and Aleksandr Viktorovich Ryzhenkov hold senior roles in Evil Corp. The sanctions are part of a coordinated effort with the United Kingdom and the United States to deter and respond to malicious cyber activity. This is the third use of Australia’s autonomous cyber sanctions framework, and part of ongoing coordinated international law enforcement against cybercrime. Evil Corp, one of the world's most prolific and long running cybercrime groups, has been responsible for significant cyber incidents, including ransomware attacks, across the US, UK, and Europe for over a decade. Their activities have caused millions in losses and disrupted key sectors including healthcare, critical infrastructure, and government. Australia continues to face increasing ransomware activity across various sectors. These include critical infrastructure, governments, industry and the Australian community. The intent of the cyber sanctions framework is to disrupt and impose costs on the perpetrators of malicious cyber activity, such as ransomware, and not to punish victims of crime.
