Overview
- FBI agents, Michigan State Police, and German and Finnish authorities seized E‑Note’s servers, mobile apps, and the domains e-note.com, e-note.ws, and jabb.mn.
- Mykhalio Petrovich Chudnovets, a 39‑year‑old Russian national, was charged in an unsealed indictment with conspiracy to launder monetary instruments carrying a maximum 20‑year sentence.
- Prosecutors say E‑Note moved proceeds from ransomware and account takeovers since 2017, including funds from attacks on U.S. healthcare and critical infrastructure organizations.
- U.S. investigators also obtained earlier server copies containing customer databases and transaction records to support follow‑on identifications and cases.
- Authorities have not confirmed an arrest, and the FBI asked potential victims to email e-note-information@fbi.gov.
