It sounds like one of the people involved had already had charges announced two months back:
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.
No, I meant this is how the NotPetya incident occurred.
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.
