The United States has offered a $ 10 million reward for six Russian military intelligence agents suspected of carrying out a series of cyberattacks in 2017.

Given the fact that the wanted persons are in Russia, the US State Department has no illusions that they may be extradited.

That's why Washington has announced a $ 10 million reward for information that could help capture them.

In a communiqué, the State Department said the six suspects were part of a group called NetFifth, which in 2017 developed malware that hit corporations around the world, as well as computer systems in US hospitals.

According to them, the losses then amounted to approximately 1 billion dollars.

The Kremlin has denied accusations that their agents were involved in cyberattacks, claiming that another "Russophobic campaign" is being waged against them.

This is not the first time that Russia's Central Intelligence Agency, the GRU, has been accused of carrying out cyber attacks around the world, including interfering in the 2016 US presidential election,
