Tank Penchukov, a notorious Ukrainian hacker, has gained infamy as one of the most wanted cybercriminals in history. Over nearly a decade, he led several high-profile hacking groups, including Jabber Zeus, which exploited vulnerabilities to steal millions from victims worldwide.

Now serving a lengthy prison sentence, he has recently given an exclusive interview from behind bars, shedding light on the inner workings of cybercriminal organizations and the evolution of cybercrime, particularly the rise of ransomware.
