These would be responsible for spectacular hacker attacks. Arrest warrants had been issued against three suspects and eight others were being investigated, investigators from the Düsseldorf criminal investigation department and the prosecutor’s office reported on Monday.

The suspects are accused, among other things, of attacks on the Düsseldorf University Hospital, the German media group Funke and the East German district of Anhalt-Bitterfeld, which therefore declared the disaster. One of the suspects, a 41-year-old Russian, is also wanted by the FBI, who have offered him a $5 million reward. The group is accused of more than 600 attacks on institutions worldwide.

The criminal group dubbed “Double-Spider” or “Grief” has connections to Russia, but there is no evidence of state actors behind the machinations. The suspects wanted a ransom in the millions. The three suspects Igor T., Irina Z. and Igor G. are now wanted worldwide. You are also now on Europol’s “Europe’s Most Wanted” search list. “The attacks on critical infrastructure are a game of life and death,” said a Europol spokesperson in Düsseldorf.
