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!

I have been seeing A LOT of verified compromises circulating hacker forums because of #BlackCat, #LockBit, #HiveRansomware, #Mallox, #BlackBasta #RoyalRansomware, #BianLian, #CubaRansomware, #BloodyRansomwareGang, #RansomEXX - I'm talking multiple terabytes of data, hundreds of millions of account details, across pretty much every single sector. Most common method of infection? #BusinessEmailCompromise! Be super mindful of the links you click on, the attachments you download, and the sites you visit
