An investigation into a scourge of NetWalker ransomware attacks has led to charges against a Gatineau man, the U.S. Department of Justice said Wednesday.
According to an indictment, police in Florida charged Sebastien Vachon-Desjardins with illegally obtaining more than $27.6 million.
The accused is alleged to be part of a shadowy group of cyber criminals who have attacked several targets in Canada, including the College of Nurses of Ontario, a Canadian Tire store in British Columbia and the Northwest Territories Power Corporation.
