BTC 新泽西工业公司核心基础设施工程师因勒索软件攻击被判入狱32个月
一名为新泽西州某工业公司工作的核心基础设施工程师，将自己封锁在公司网络之外，并索要20个比特币（当时价值约75万美元），否则将使更多服务器瘫痪。他因此计划被判处32个月的联邦监禁。
59岁的丹尼尔·雷恩（Daniel Rhyne）于9月28日在新泽西州特伦顿由法官迈克尔·A·希普（Michael A. Shipp）宣判。雷恩来自密苏里州堪萨斯城，于今年4月对两项罪名认罪：一项是与威胁破坏受保护计算机相关的敲诈勒索，另一项是故意破坏计算机。
根据联邦调查局（FBI）的起诉书，该公司位于新泽西州萨默塞特县，客户包括生物制药和油气公司。雷恩在该公司专门从事虚拟机相关工作。
2023年11月8日至11月25日期间，雷恩利用一个未经授权的管理员账户远程入侵了公司网络。他在域控制器上安排了任务，随后清除了13个域管理员账户。相同的任务还将301个用户密码和管理员密码设置为“TheFr0zenCrew!”。两个本地管理员账户被设置为“PsPasswd”，导致254台服务器无法访问。另一项更改锁定了3,284个工作站。同年12月的几天里，网络中的机器随机停机。
Administrators began receiving alerts around 4 p.m. on November 25 because hundreds of accounts triggered password resets, the indictment wrote. All other domain administrator accounts no longer exist. Forty-four minutes later, employees received an email titled "Your network has been penetrated" claiming that the backup had been deleted. If 20 bitcoins are not received by December 2, 40 servers will be shut down for 10 days a day. As of Wednesday, bitcoin trading prices were close to $83,000, and the value of 20 bitcoins was about $1.7 million, well more than double the 2023 requirement.
Court documents show that on November 22, Renne searched the account on his hidden device for ways to reset domain user passwords, delete domain accounts, and clear Windows logs. A week ago, his company laptop ran a similar search, including how to turn off the computer remotely from the command line.
The case was investigated by the FBI's Newark office, led by Stefanie Roddy, with assistance from Kansas City. Rehn was arrested in August 2024 and released after a first court hearing. Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Taj Moore prosecuted the case on behalf of the Cybercrime Unit.
Previously, similar cases have also attracted attention. For example, SaaS company Brightly Software was attacked by one of its contractors, demanding $2.5 million. In March, Cameron Curry, a 27-year-old data analyst from North Carolina, was sentenced to two years in prison for his role in the incident. In addition, Adam Iza was sentenced to six and a half years in prison by a federal court in California on October 5 for his involvement in plans to steal more than $37 million from Meta. It was also reported that Armenian Karen Serobovich Vardanyan pleaded guilty in the United States in July to suspected Ripon ransomware activity, which made profits by charging more than $15 million in bitcoins from U.S. companies, including a Michigan company paying 200 bitcoins.
