Authorities in Montenegro have arrested a suspect linked to an alleged cyberattack that targeted U.S. financial institutions and is estimated to have caused $3.4 billion in damage.
The detention was praised by U.S. law enforcement, which has described the case as one of the largest known cyberattacks against American financial infrastructure.
Cross-border cooperation is often central to pursuing suspects in major cybercrime cases, which frequently involve actors operating outside the jurisdiction of the targeted country. Details of potential extradition or charges were not immediately clear.
