We've had indictments against PLA members for years now. They aren't any closer to being arrested by US LE, either. But I do appreciate that we are tracking these folks down, putting faces to the actors, and doing so in public. Even what little western LE is able to do has some affect to reduce the overall threat.

In a sprawling 26-count criminal indictment unsealed Tuesday morning, prosecutors allege that Khoroshev, 31, developed, promoted and oversaw the LockBit software, recruiting “affiliates” on cybercriminal forums who then carried out the actual ransomware attacks. Once a ransom was paid, typically in bitcoin (BTC), affiliates would give Khoroshev a 20% cut of their earnings, according to the indictment.
