Six Russian intelligence officers were charged by the US Justice Department with a string of hacking offences, including the NotPetya ransomware attack that cost Maersk hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenues three years ago. The men, aged between 27 and 35, have been placed on the FBI’s wanted list. The hackers are allegedly members of Unit 74455, the cyber hacking division of Russia’s intelligence services.
