The US offered $ 10 million in reward for information about the hacker group 
for the recent attack on the American pipeline company Colonial Pipeline. This was stated by State Department spokesman Ned Price, RIA Novosti reports.
According to him, the State Department announced an award in the amount of ten million dollars for data on the whereabouts or personalities of the leaders of the criminal organization. In addition, the authorities will pay $ 5 million for information that will help arrest individuals who participated or attempted to participate in the recent cyberattack with ransomware by the DarkSide group.
Colonial Pipeline, the largest operator in the United States on May 8 fuel pipelines, reported that she was attacked by a ransomware virus. CNN journalists claimed that a group of Russian hackers and their DarkSide community were behind the cyber attack. US President Joe Biden stressed that Moscow is not behind the incident. However, at the same time, the American leader believes that the cybercriminals who perpetrated the attack “are on Russian territory.” According to the American edition of The Wall Street Journal, the members of the association took this step due to the fact that they are increasingly pressured by law enforcement agencies and Washington.
