One of the most well-known hacker groups in the world - Ragnar Locker, the name of the association - is at the center of an international operation, in which the Italian Postal Police also participated.

In particular, the investigations led to the identification and arrest in France of a 35-year-old computer scientist considered a leading figure within the gang, specialized in ransomware-type cyber attacks, i.e. those characterized by the "seizure" of PCs and devices followed by subsequent ransom requests.

Recent victims of the Ragnar Locker group's cyber attackers include the Israeli "Mayanei Hayeshua" hospital in Tel Aviv and the main Portuguese airline.
