The FBI has infiltrated and disrupted a major cybercriminal group that extorted schools, hospitals and critical infrastructure around the world, a law enforcement official tells NBCNews.
Those figures underscore just how large the ransomware crime ecosystem has grown. Jen Ellis, a co-chair of the Ransomware Task Force, a cybersecurity industry partnership to address ransomware, said that the takedown on Thursday was a major step, but likely wouldn’t stop Hive entirely.
The takedown is a rare victory against a ransomware gang. Such groups often act with near-impunity in attacking targets in the U.S. and around the world. Ransomware gangs are often decentralized, with affiliate members who can be scattered around the world. But as is often the case with such groups, Hive’s core group spoke Russian, said Allan Liska, a ransomware analyst at the cybersecurity firm Recorded Future.
