Europol’s Bounty on Russian Crypto Ransomware Gang Turns Out to Be a Scam

Europol’s Bounty on Russian Crypto Ransomware Gang Turns Out to Be a Scam

According to Jinse Finance, a supposed $50,000 bounty offered by Europol for tracking down the administrators of the Russian ransomware group Qilin is actually just a Telegram scam. This fake bounty announcement deceived several cybersecurity news outlets, leading them to mistakenly believe that Europol would reward anyone who could provide information on Qilin’s two administrators, Haise and XORacle. The two are reportedly responsible for “coordinating affiliates and overseeing extortion activities,” and Europol was said to be seeking intelligence that could “directly lead to the identification or location of these administrators.” However, Europol confirmed to Security Week that this so-called bounty is in fact a “scam,” and the agency has never issued such a reward.
