US and international law enforcement agencies have taken down servers and websites linked to the BlackSuit ransomware group and seized $1 million in crypto.
The US seized servers, domain names and about $1 million in crypto assets from the ransomware group BlackSuit.
The Justice Department said on Monday that multiple US and international law enforcement agencies conducted an operation against the BlackSuit ransomware groups in late July.
The operation included the unsealing of a warrant for the seizure of cryptocurrency valued at just over $1 million at the time, it reported.
