The U.S. Department of State announced a $10 million reward for information leading to the identification or location of any individuals holding a key leadership position in the Conti ransomware group.
The agency is also offering $5 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction of anyone conspiring to participate in or attempting to participate in a Conti variant ransomware incident.
Conti has been responsible for hundreds of ransomware attacks, including incidents targeting healthcare and first-responder networks. The group was also behind the attack that took out Ireland's health service in May 2021, along with a recent incident impacting the Costa Rican government.
"In offering this reward, the United States demonstrates its commitment to protecting potential ransomware victims around the world from exploitation by cyber criminals," said State Department officials.
