It seems that the international cybercrime organization dealing with the GozNym was also highly organized. The organization consisted of 10 Russian members who belong to Eastern Europe, such as Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, and Russia, and each had a different role. Bulgaria's Krasimir Nikolov uses the stolen information to log in to the victim's account and withdraw the money, taking the role of 'the child ', Viktor Vladimirovich Eremenko, Farkhad Rauf Ogly Manokhin, Alexander Van Hoof was in charge of providing a deposit account to store the withdrawn money. There are other people in charge of managing computers infected with GozNym, and a bulletproof hosting administrator who provided servers to the organization.
Of the 10 members of this organization, 5 were arrested by the police in each country, and the organization was dismantled. However, for the remaining five, the FBI is releasing a wanted letter with a photo.
Five of the fugitives are believed to be hiding in Russia.
