Law enforcement partners in Spain announced the arrest of a member of the pro-Russia hacktivist group Cyber Army of Russia Reborn (also known as Z-Pentest). @FBILosAngeles worked closely with the Spanish National Police to coordinate the subject’s arrest.
Last December, the FBI announced Operation Red Circus, our ongoing effort to disrupt Russian state-sponsored cyber threats to the United States and our interests abroad. As part of that announcement, the FBI and partners released a joint Cybersecurity Advisory on pro-Russia hacktivist groups conducting opportunistic attacks against critical infrastructure, including the water, agriculture, and energy sectors. A mission priority of Operation Red Circus is targeting and arresting individuals for their roles in hacktivist groups such as Cyber Army of Russia Reborn to mitigate planned, malicious cyber-campaigns.
This action is part of Operation Riptide and underscores the FBI’s commitment to working with our international partners to disrupt and hold accountable those engaged in malicious cyber activity. Together, we will continue to impose costs on cybercriminals wherever they operate.

Scammers continue to send "couriers" to pick up cash or gold from victims to "protect your money from . . . . ." The reasons given vary depending on the scam, but they all trick victims into physically handing over their life savings to a stranger who was sent to pick it up.
These scams are sophisticated. Many of them start as a pop-up on your computer screen to trick the victim to call "tech support" using the number provided. Or you get an email or text about an "unauthorized charge on your account."
Awareness is key to prevent from becoming a victim. Visit the #FBI's webpage to become familiar with the most common types of frauds and scams targeting victims, especially older adults: ow.ly/rK9m50ZkLAF
