In addition, the State Department is offering up to $ 5 million for information on DarkSide accomplices.
The US authorities are ready to pay $ 10 million to those who share important information about the leaders of the DarkSide cybercriminal group, which attacked the Colonial Pipeline pipeline company this spring.
"The US Department of State is announcing a reward of up to $ 10 million for information that allows you to locate any person or persons holding a key position in the transnational organized crime group DarkSide," the State Department said in a statement.
In addition to this award, the Department of State is offering a reward of up to $ 5 million for information that will help arrest in any country those who temporarily sided with hackers or helped in any DarkSide criminal act.
Recall that the Colonial Pipeline, which provides 45% of the total fuel supply to the eastern United States, was attacked by a ransomware virus. The company had to temporarily suspend operations. Following a cyberattack on the largest pipeline company in the United States, the United States authorities declared a regional emergency.
