What’s Next in the Fight Against Ransomware?
Category: Business
Advanced Tools for Enhanced Cybersecurity Protection Last week, the sites associated with the Russian hacking group REvil disappeared from the dark web. This represented a rare positive step in the fight against ransomware, which REvil deployed in two of the biggest cyberattacks of 2021: the attack on meat processing conglomerate JBS and the worldwide July 4th incident that stole the data of thousands of businesses around the world. The group’s public-facing “happy blog,” which listed victims of ransomware, was taken down, along with custom websites that the group used to negotiate with the businesses it had attacked. The question now is who or what is responsible for the disappearance of REvil’s online presence. Could it be credited to American President Joe Biden’s demand of Russian President Vladimir Putin that he takes action to stop the attacks? Could the United States Cyber Command be responsible, acting on the U.S. government’s declaration of ransomware attacks as a serious threat to national security? Or could it be attributed to REvil itself, which some security experts suspect could have eliminated its own online presence to avoid the attention of law enforcement agencies?
