BlackCat ransomware gang defies law enforcement, despite their efforts to take them down. The FBI "seized" the group's website, but the group responded by unseizing it. This is due to the fact that both law enforcement and BlackCat have access to the private key of the site. The group has continued their operations and has even allowed affiliates to target critical infrastructure. However, it is unlikely that affiliates will specifically target these organizations. The group has also cut the cost of working with them in an attempt to retain their affiliates. There is no evidence of arrests being made, so the long-term effects of the disruption activity may be limited. Affiliates may seek employment elsewhere to distance themselves from law enforcement. #BlackCat #Ransomware #LawEnforcement #Cybercrime #Affiliates
