Oleg Evgenievich Nefekov, a 35-year-old Russian national, has been added to Germany's most-wanted list for his role in leading the Black Basta ransomware operation. This group ceased its activities following a significant internal leak, similar to the fate of the Conti group last year. Nefekov's name and image are now included on the EU's most-wanted list as authorities seek information for his capture.
