A dual Russian-Israeli national, suspected of being a key developer for the LockBit ransomware operation, has been extradited to the United States to face charges.

Rostislav Panev, 51, was arrested in Israel last August, where police reportedly found incriminating evidence on his laptop. This included credentials for LockBit's internal control panel and a repository containing source code for LockBit encryptors and the gang's custom data theft tool, StealBit.

In December, the U.S. Department of Justice charged Panev, accusing him of developing LockBit's ransomware encryptors and StealBit.
