DOJ seizes $2.3M in cryptocurrency paid to the ransomware extortionists Darkside
This story makes absolutely no sense at all. The errors present by these hackers are so comical it's simply unbelievable. I'm supposed to believe some elite Russian hacking group keeps their crypto wallets running on a US host where the FBI just logs right in and snatches the private key? I'm starting to entertain the conspiracies that the future of commodities price manipulation is fake ransomware attacks. There needs to be a serious audit of CME derivatives trading. There will come a day when some oil futures trader pays a ransomware group or an employee at a pipeline company and makes billions.
