FBI developed decryptor for BlackCat ransomware, seized gang’s website

The FBI created a decryption tool for the ransomware used by the gang known as BlackCat and/or ALPHV, as part of a wider disruption campaign against the group. The existence of the decryptor was revealed in a Tuesday announcement by the United States Department of Justice that reports the FBI has offered the tool to over 500 orgs and believes $68 million of ransom payments were avoided as a result.
