Peel police say a cross-border investigation has taken down the infrastructure of a notorious ransomware group they allege has targeted at least 71 Canadian bus
Peel police say they were the lead Canadian agency in an investigation leading to the dismantling of the infrastructure of the HIVE ransomware group.
Police say the ransomware group’s domain was seized as part of the takedown, which involved law enforcement from 12 countries, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the U.S. and Europol. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland says the operation saved victims of the syndicate known as HIVE, including hospitals and school districts, a potential $130-million in ransom payments.
The FBI says it was able to obtain software keys to decrypt the network of some 1,300 victims globally, but it’s not clear how the takedown will affect HIVE’s long-term operations.Affiliates use the group’s malware to take computer networks hostage then share any potential ransoms with the group.
