Hive&#8217;s operators claimed they targeted circa 1,500 victims worldwide between June 2021 and January 2023.<\/p>\n<p>According to separate&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/files\/2026\/10\/28\/artem_stryzhak_hive_indictment.pdf\">court documents<\/a> [PDF], Hive&#8217;s victims included a law firm and an Ohio hospital, which paid approximately $1.7 million in Bitcoin after the gang initially demanded $2 million during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Before its infrastructure was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/security\/2023\/01\/26\/fbi-shuts-down-hive-ransomware-seizes-servers-and-websites\/612642\">seized in an international law enforcement operation<\/a> in January 2023, Hive was known for attacking healthcare facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as being one of the ransomware groups that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/security\/2022\/06\/06\/costa-rican-government-held-up-by-ransomware-again\/1192792\">battered Costa Rica in 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Brett Leatherman, assistant director at the FBI\u2019s cyber branch, described Stryzhak as a \u201cprolific cybercriminal\u201d who played a role in groups that were responsible for more than $100 million in victim damages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s sentence reflects the seriousness of Stryzhak\u2019s crimes and demonstrates the FBI\u2019s global reach and extensive network of international partners,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMultiple field offices contributed to this investigation, and our work does not end here. We will continue to leverage every tool at our disposal to track down Stryzhak\u2019s co-conspirators and hold them accountable, including Volodymyr Viktorovych Tymoshchuk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stryzhak was arrested by Spanish police in June 2024 before being extradited to the US in April 2025.<\/p>\n<p>In announcing Stryzhak&#8217;s sentencing, the Justice Department took the opportunity to remind the
