The U.S. and its allies have seized the dark-web portal of the ALPHV ransomware group, which supplied the malware used by the cybercrime gang Scattered Spider to hack MGM and Caesars. Law enforcement agencies have also claimed to have seized the dark web leak site of the notorious ALPHV ransomware gang, also known as BlackCat. The FBI, UK, Germany, and more have taken control of the website for the BlackCat ransomware gang, offering victims a decryption key. However, the ransomware group has claimed to have 'unseized' their domain multiple times and issued new threats after the FBI takedown, indicating ongoing conflict and defiance from the group.
“This intervention has notably tarnished ALPHV’s reputation, casting doubt on the group’s ability to continue under the same brand,” says Nataliia Zdrok. Read the article from @CyberNews about the FBI's notice of domain seizure on the ALPHV #darkweb blog. https://t.co/PoRORozNPv
