Russian Hacker “Wazawaka” Indicted for Ransomware – Krebs on Security

If the FBI and Europol had infiltrated Hive in July, why was the takedown now? Sure, they intercepted encryption keys, but they allowed hundreds of orgs to be victimized costing untold millions of dollars in damages. Combined with the lack of arrests, can it be justified as having been worth it in the end? #InfoSec #HiveRansomware

If law enforcement wants to be trusted and taken seriously, they should stop making misleading statements touting their own victories. I'm pleased they compromised Hive, but to some degree it raises as many questions as answers. Then they say things like this to Reuters. If these orgs were allowed to be victimized they didn't "save them" anything. The costs of cleanup and breach far exceed ransoms, which they may not have even chosen to pay. #InfoSec #HiveRansomware

Woke up to some interesting news today. It would appear that the #HiveRansomware Gang has been taken down. https://www.scmagazine.com/analysis/ransomware/notice-on-hive-ransomware-site-claims-seizure-by-fbi-europol?external_id=HBwZ-n4B490LDY0Z-dKj&external_id_source=mrkto&mkt_tok=MTg4LVVOWi02NjAAAAGJjgDjxI7Quxnvn1dDKVtkFHU7zdk93j0TL7ocD2SwuAAcr1k2YbWxSGv7tfEHn6GOvCcebcAwc3X5co3AlFFNixo9Hty9BWX4VsvTCEiG_Q

I checked around some #DarkWeb forums, and it would appear this actually happened in a joint, international effort. The #USDOJ claims to have "hacked the hackers", took down their #TOR site, and have apparently #decrypted 1500 companies. If it sticks, this is a big win for the #GoodGuys. Bye bye #Hive!

US, Europol seize Hive ransomware servers and leak sites: ‘We hacked the hackers’ 

On Thursday morning, the FBI said it has been in Hive's network for months, seizing servers and websites used to extort victims and leak data for non-paying businesses, while also stealing decryptors for victims and clawing back ransomware payments.
