Conti ransomware affiliate sentenced to four years for attacks on 12 firms

Oleksii Lytvynenko, a Conti ransomware crew member, was sentenced to four years in prison for his direct involvement in attacks on at least 12 companies. The sentencing marks a notable law-enforcement outcome against a major ransomware group, though the broader Conti network remains active. This is a single case, not a systemic disruption.
