This one was easy, given the recent news dominating the #cyber / #ransomware headlines throughout May. Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Justice seized ~64 #bitcoin (~ $2.3M USD) from the criminal gang #Darkside.
The seized funds will begin to offset some of the #extortion taken from #Darkside victims. Kudos to the multi-agency #lawenforcement collaboration, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Special Prosecutions Section & Asset Forfeiture Unit of the United States Attorneys’ Offices (Northern District of California), and the National Security Division’s Counterintelligence & Export Control Section.
