A joint U.S.-European operation has seized infrastructure belonging to the BlackSuit ransomware gang, a notorious hacking group blamed for several major cyberattacks in recent years.BlackSuit has been one of the more prolific ransomware operations in recent years, targeting U.S. cities like Dallas, as well as organizations in the manufacturing, communications and healthcare industries. At the time of publication, the BlackSuit’s leak site on the dark web, which it used to publish files and extort victims into paying a ransom, was no longer loading. It now displays a seizure notice saying the site was taken down by a “coordinated international law enforcement investigation.” Is this the right direction for the world to emulate to mak ethe internet safer?
