FBI develops decryptor for BlackCat ransomware, seizes gang's website

The FBI, in coordination with international partners, disrupted the ALPHV/BlackCat ransomware operation by gaining access to Tor-hosted infrastructure, seizing assets and keys, and producing a decryptor offered to hundreds of victims (authorities estimate roughly $68M in ransom payments avoided); the gang has contested the seizure and intermittently reclaimed its sites while continuing to publish victim names and restructure affiliate incentives, creating ongoing operational risk and a possible shift toward more aggressive targeting.
