I-US inikeza u-$15 wezigidi ukuze uthole ulwazi nge-ALPHV/BlackCat ransomware syndicate.
Lesi sigebengu sidala umonakalo ezinkampanini kusukela saqala ukuvela ngo-2021. Kuze kube manje, sesihlukumeze izinhlangano zomhlaba ezingaphezu kwenkulungwane, okuhlanganisa izinhlangano nezinhlaka zikahulumeni. Ukulahlekelwa kudlula izigidigidi.
Okunye ukuhlasela kwabo okudume kakhulu kwenzeka ngoSepthemba odlule lapho iqembu liqondise iziqhwaga eziningi zasekhasino zaseLas Vegas. Izisulu kuthiwa zikhokhe imali engaphezu kuka-$15 million ukuze zigcine iminyango yazo ivuliwe ngaphandle kwezinkinga.
Ngaphezu kokuhlasela okukhulu kwe-ransomware ngokwazo, futhi isebenza njengemodeli ye-ransomware-as-a-service, ihlinzeka nge-malware ethuthukisiwe kanye namathuluzi okugebenga ezigebengwini emhlabeni jikelele.
I-FBI sekuphele izinyanga iphenya leli qembu, yaze yenza ukuhlasela ukuze intshontshe inkundla yewebhu yalowo mgadli. Ngenkathi bephumelela ukuthola iwebhusayithi ekuqaleni, abaduni bayibuyisele emuva. Womabili la maqembu ahamba ngezinyawo, elwa esigcawini. Yize bekungewona ukuwina okukhulu obekufunwa yi-FBI, lisabiza iqembu labaduni imali engaphezu kwezigidi ezingama- $99 ezinkokhelweni ze-ransomware eziphuthelwe.
Kodwa igalelo alizange linqume futhi iqembu lisagcwele, lithengisa okubhaliselwe kanye nezinkampani ezihlengayo. Ngesonto eledlule nje, leli qembu ligqekeze iTrans-Northern Pipelines laphuma nedatha ebucayi yenani elingu-183 GB.
Kungakho uMnyango Wezwe LaseMelika wenze inzuzo enkulu kunoma ngubani owazi okuthile ngeqembu. U-$10 million wokuqala uya kunoma ubani okwazi ukuhlonza ngokulungile ilungu le-ALPHV/BlackCat.
Imali esele engu-$5 million inikezwa noma ubani obanikeza ulwazi oluholela “ekuboshweni noma ekugwetshweni kwanoma ubani obambe iqhaza noma obopha itulo noma ozama ukuba nengxenye ekuhlaselweni kwe-ransomware esebenzisa okuhlukile kwe-ALPHV/Blackcat.”
Uhlelo Lokuklomelisa Ubugebengu Obuhleliwe boMnyango Wezwe (TOCRP) lulawula inzuzo. Ukuze uthumele ithiphu engaziwa, sebenzisa i Ulayini wethiphu osuselwe ku-tor abawuhlinzekayo.
