Former DigitalMint and Sygnia negotiators pleaded guilty for collaborating with the BlackCat/ALPHV ransomware group between 2023–2025 by sharing confidential victim negotiation details and facilitating extortion; their victims included multiple U.S. organizations that paid multi-million-dollar ransoms, and prosecutors say affiliates paid operators a 20% cut. The report also notes the FBI has linked BlackCat to over 60 breaches and that the gang collected at least $300 million from victims through September 2023.
