First on CNN: US recovers millions in cryptocurrency paid to Colonial Pipeline ransomware hackers

Washington US investigators have recovered millions in cryptocurrency they say was paid in ransom to hackers whose attack prompted the shutdown of the key East Coast pipeline last month, the Justice Department announced Monday.

The announcement confirms CNN's earlier reporting about the FBI-led operation, which was carried out with cooperation from Colonial Pipeline, the company that fell victim to the ransomware attack in question. Specifically, the Justice Department said it seized approximately $2.3 million in Bitcoins paid to individuals in a criminal hacking group known as DarkSide.

Does anyone actually believe this BS? I’m preparing for the alien invasion

Nothing mentioned about the payer,it can happen again without an end

Big deal, a few million is recouped- a pathetic drop in the bucket compared to the disruption caused. More chaos to come now they know our weaknesses. Hold Putin’s feet to the fire

Russians are crying lol

How the fuck do you recover crypto..and why did the government want it?

Hmmmm, so now the oil company opportunists will lower gas prices

Horseshit. Can hack a pipeline and shut it down but cant hide their ransom payment. Inside job!
