А вот сегодня уже пишут:
The DarkSide ransomware affiliate program responsible for the six-day outage at Colonial Pipeline this week that led to fuel shortages and price spikes across the country is running for the hills. The crime gang announced it was closing up shop after its servers were seized and someone drained the cryptocurrency from an account the group uses to pay affiliates.
Дальше надо смотреть, куда это бабло пойдёт - скорее всего, выплывет на одном из федовских регулярных аукционов. Возможно, конечно, что ребята успели забрать свои деньги раньше - но судя по резкости движений, это скорее феды. И скорее всего, подготовлено это было не за 6 дней - т.е. ребят пасли до того.
И кажется ребята испортили малину всей честной компании:
The new restrictions came as some Russian cybercrime forums began distancing themselves from ransomware operations altogether. On Thursday, the administrator of the popular Russian forum XSS announced the forum would no longer allow discussion threads about ransomware moneymaking programs.
“There’s too much publicity,” the XSS administrator explained. “Ransomware has gathered a critical mass of nonsense, bullshit, hype, and fuss around it. The word ‘ransomware’ has been put on a par with a number of unpleasant phenomena, such as geopolitical tensions, extortion, and government-backed hacks. This word has become dangerous and toxic.”
Видимо, кое-кому крыша намекнула, что политика и бизнес плохо стыкуются.
