MOSCOW (CBS SF/AP) — Ukrainian police say they have uncovered a ring of computer hackers responsible for cyberattacks that included targeting personal data and financial records at the Stanford University Medical School and the University of California.

Six members of the gang, known as Cl0p, were arrested and a number of computers, cars and about $185,000 in cash was seized.

The hackers also allegedly attacked four South Korean companies in 2019 with an encryption virus that blocked internal servers and employees’ computers.

Every hacking job has been blamed on Putin—with zero actual evidence.

They probably convicted those six GRU officers and incarcerated them in the ADX Florence supermax prison, in absentia.

There's an idea, Biden could do that with President Putin.

These aren’t the real hackers.
The real hackers are communist Russian SPTANAZ cyber terrorists force North Korean, Chicom, and Iranian too.
Biden “(Obama)” people told, the Ukranians too arrest whomever exchange for NATO status and that aid we saw.
Both the aid and the membership are all phony as a two dollar bill this was Putin’s idea his reach is deep.

Tip of hat to Thunder he brought up we won’t seeing the ramifications from the summit until by the end of year
just as he posted that Biden was asked about Russian U.S. relations he said, “we’ll know in about six months to a year”.
