AlphV
What a dramatic cyber soap opera we’ve witnessed with the Alpha ransomware group, also known by their edgy alias, BlackCat. It’s like a game of digital whack-a-mole, with the FBI and friends swinging the mallet of justice and the ransomware rascals popping up with a cheeky «unseized» banner as if they’re playing a high-stakes game of capture the flag.
The FBI’s initial victory lap was cut short when AlphV’s site reemerged, now mysteriously devoid of any incriminating victim lists.
Will the FBI finally pin the cyber tail on the Black Cat, or will these digital desperados slip away once more? Stay tuned for the next episode of «Feds vs. Felons: The Cyber Chronicles.»
