The FBI has been involved in a series of actions against the ALPHV and BlackCat ransomware groups, seizing and re-seizing their websites. Despite these efforts, the ransomware gangs have managed to regain control of their sites multiple times. The FBI has offered decryption keys to help victims recover from the attacks. Additionally, the Lockbit ransomware group is attempting to recruit developers and affiliates from ALPHV. The BlackCat ransomware gang has defied law enforcement and vowed to continue targeting victims, including high-profile hacks such as cyberattacks on Las Vegas casinos.
