The U.S. federal government has announced a $10 million reward for information leading to the capture of Amin Timovich Stigal, a 22-year-old hacker associated with Russian military intelligence. Stigal, the WhisperGate suspect, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Maryland on June 27 for his involvement in cyberattacks targeting Ukrainian government systems ahead of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. The indictment alleges that Stigal used data-destroying malware known as WhisperGate to compromise these systems. The FBI has emphasized the severity of Stigal's actions, which also included targeting U.S. government computers in Maryland.
