      It sounds like one of the people involved had already had charges announced two months back:

      https://www.securityweek.com/us-announces-charges-reward-for-russian-national-behind-wiper-attacks-on-ukraine/

      The US Department of Justice has announced charges against a Russian national for his alleged role in a series of disruptive cyberattacks against Ukraine ahead of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.

      The individual, Amin Timovich Stigal, is believed to be a member of Cadet Blizzard, a state-sponsored threat actor also known as DEV-0586 and Ruinous Ursa, which operates on behalf of Russia’s military intelligence (the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff (GRU) of Russia).

      This article references that:

      Amin Stigal, an alleged civilian co-conspirator, who was indicted in June for his role in WhisperGate activities

      Not sure if that’s what you’re referring to.

          Oh, like, similar incident also attacking master boot records?

          Yeah, I guess.

          EDIT: Those guys apparently got identified and charged back in 2020:

          Also GRU.
