The United States has announced sanctions and indictments against two alleged Russian cybercriminals. Timur Kamilevich Shakhmametov, suspected of operating Joker’s Stash, a carding shop that sold stolen payment cards, has been indicted. Sergey Sergeevich Ivanov, known as Taleon, has been indicted and sanctioned for his role in money laundering activities through the Cryptex cryptocurrency exchange. Cryptex is alleged to have moved billions of dollars in and out of Russia over the past two decades, facilitating money laundering for various cybercrime entities, including Joker’s Stash. This action highlights the increasing focus on dismantling cybercrime infrastructure, including cryptocurrency exchanges used for money laundering.
