The U.S. Justice Department alleges that incident responder Angelo Martino, together with Ryan Goldberg and Kevin Martin, colluded with the ALPHV/BlackCat ransomware group to carry out attacks and boost ransom negotiations, earning roughly $1.2M from a Florida medical company; Goldberg and Martin have pleaded guilty, Martino surrendered, and DigitalMint (employer of two negotiators) is cooperating and has implemented new controls.
