The ongoing saga of the BlackCat/AlphV ransomware gang continues, with a news report that the crew has shut down its servers after a controversial hack of an American healthcare services provider.
Bleeping Computer says the gang’s data leak blog shut on Friday and the sites it uses to negotiate ransom payments closed today.
This comes after
a gang affiliate last month was allegedly paid US$22 million after its data theft and ransomware attack disrupted the services of Change Healthcare, which provides a range of services to hospitals and clinics including processing pharmacy prescriptions and healthcare payments;
— on the heels of that incident, the BlackCat/AlphV operators reportedly plucked that payment back from the affiliate’s digital wallet before shutting down operations.
