"French Police Arrests Russian Suspect Linked to Hive Ransomware"

French authorities recently arrested a Russian national in Paris for allegedly helping the Hive ransomware gang with laundering their victims' ransom payments.  The suspect was apprehended after the French Anti-Cybercrime Office (OFAC) linked him to digital wallets that received millions of U.S. dollars from suspicious sources based on his activity on social networks.  French authorities also seized €570,000 worth of cryptocurrency assets when they detained the 40-year-old suspect and Cyprus resident on December 5.
