Cash for Cyber Crooks: US Gov Drops $15M Bounty on ALPHV Ransomware Gang
Ready for a cyber manhunt? The US is playing “Who Wants to be a Multi-Millionaire,” offering up to $15 million for ratting out the ALPHV ransomware ringleaders. It’s like a bounty hunter gig, but with less dirt and more data. #InfosecInBrief
Hot Take:
It's like the Wild West out there, folks, except instead of gunslingers, we've got cyber-gangsters, and instead of wanted posters, we've got the U.S. government slapping bounties on digital desperados. The latest outlaw to make the most-wanted list is the ALPHV/Blackcat ransomware gang, with Uncle Sam coughing up a cool $15 million for snitches willing to risk getting some digital stitches. And if you're a Siemens user, better patch up faster than a cowboy with a hole in his chaps. Meanwhile, EncroChat snitches keep sending baddies to the hitching post, and Colorado's public defenders just got digitally hogtied. Yeehaw, cyber frontier justice!Already a member? Log in here
