FBI Takes Down RAMP Ransomware Forum

**Executive summary:** The FBI has seized the Russian Anonymous Marketplace (RAMP), a prominent Tor-based forum that served as a high-trust marketplace and discussion hub for ransomware actors and suppliers; RAMP domains now redirect to law enforcement seizure notices. Experts say the takedown is a meaningful disruption that will mainly impact low- to mid-tier actors and marketplaces while providing intelligence to law enforcement, but will likely have limited effect on top-tier ransomware groups and may push activity to other platforms like Telegram.
