The DOJ says it has disrupted a notorious cybercriminal group behind ransomware attacks on more than 1,500 victims worldwide and millions of dollars in extorted payment.

Hive is known to go after health care organizations, and the Justice Department, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Department of Health and Human Serviceswarning of additional Hive attacks on health care and public health groups.

“Cybercrime is a constantly evolving threat, but as I have said before, the Justice Department will spare no resources to identify and bring to justice anyone, anywhere who targets the United States with a ransomware attack,” Garland said. “A reminder to cybercriminals: No matter where you are, and no matter how much you try to twist and turn to cover your tracks — your infrastructure, your criminal associates, your money and your liberty are all at risk, and there will be consequences,” Wray told reporters.

While the dismantling of Hive’s operations is a win for the Justice Department — which launched a ransomware task force in 2021 to better prioritize investigating and bringing to justice ransomware cybercriminals — at least one expert is skeptical of its long-term impact.

Corrupted

Smoke screen to hide some more corruption

Finally, the DOJ has diverted at least some of their attention away from witch hunts to actually focusing on real crime. That’s a step in the right direction.

Working on everything except criminal rethugs!!

But still nothing on Trump?

Punishment must be swift and powerful!

Has he disrupted the orange leader of the Insurrection yet? No, interesting
