Tens of millions of others around the world have reunited with their Garmin devices, adding those used through cyclists, cyclists and drivers, which broke down for the fifth day after being hacked through the Russian organization Evil Corps, which is not easy. Rescue $10 million to repair your operation.
Garmin ordered the ransom to be paid through a cybercriminal organization run by a 33-year-old Russian hacker, Maksim Yakubets, who handles a $250,000 Lamborghini tradition.
In December 2019, the FBI placed a $5 million reward on Yakubets’ head to unload, leading to his capture. This is the highest praise presented by an alleged cybercrime criminal.
The new goal of Yakubets is Garmin, which has not yet given any explanation about its disruption, but security analysts told the explanation as to why probably a ransomware, a strategy used through hackers to encrypt knowledge and extort funds.
The company said on Twitter that its online page and Garmin Connect exercise app were offline since Thursday. He said the “flyGarmin” site used for aeronautical databases is also inactive.

Maksim Viktorovich Yakubets, 33, is believed to be the head of The Russian hacking organization Evil Corp and the attack on Garmin systems. The FBI receives a $5 million eulogy for the data that led to his capture.
The malware has been connected to a Russian cybercriminal known as Evil Corp.
In December 2019, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Evil Corp. for causing more than $100 million in monetary damages to the U.S. banking system.
As a result, if Garmin sought to pay the ransom, it could violate U.S. sanctions.
Evil Corp is a Russian-based cybercriminal organization, targeted through Maksim Yakubets, allegedly by ransomware attack against Garmin.
Yakubets is alleged to have run the operation since May 2009 from the basements of Moscow cafes.
He allegedly hired dozens of other people to borrow cash from patients in 43 countries using PC viruses designed to attack only patients outside Russia.
The “malware” is downloaded when a victim clicks on an attachment to an email and hides on their PC to gather their non-public and monetary knowledge, such as the main points of the online bank, which are then used to empty their accounts.
Operating online the so-called Aqua, the hacker and its affiliates are accused of stealing at least $100 million.
U.S. Treasury officials also claim that Yakubets provided “direct assistance to the Russian government” by obtaining confidential documents for the FSB security agency. It is also supposed to be part of a scheme in which Russian intelligence agencies recruited criminals to hack national security targets.
Yakubets, a Russian citizen of Ukraine, is at large, as is his administrator Igor Turashev, 38.
In December, 15 other people associated with the piracy organization were sanctioned through the U.S. Treasury. It’s the idea for many to live in Moscow.
If Yakubets leaves Russia, he will be arrested and extradited to America to face charges. Financial sanctions have been imposed on him by the US, but privately, insiders say the chances of him setting foot outside Russia remain small.
Yakubets is known to be a flamboyant character and along with his flash cars, one of which is a customized Lamborghini with a number plate that reads THIEF in Russian, he is known to have splashed out on a pet tiger and lion cubs.
Evil Corp is a Russia-based cybercriminal organization, headed by Maksim Yakubets, which is believed to be responsible for the ransomware attack against Garmin.
It has been described as one of the most harmful criminal organizations on the Internet.
Yakubets has led the operation since May 2009 from the basements of Moscow cafes.
He allegedly hired dozens of other people to borrow cash from patients in 43 countries using PC viruses designed to attack only patients outside Russia.

“Yakubets is a true 21st century con man,” U.S. Deputy Attorney General Brian Benczkowski said in December last year, “earned his place on the FBI’s list of the world’s most wanted cybercriminals.”
