A former ransomware negotiator, Angelo Martino, has pleaded guilty to conspiring with the BlackCat (ALPHV) ransomware group: he passed victims' negotiation strategy and insurance limits to the group and acted as an affiliate deploying ransomware between April and November 2023. Authorities say multiple organizations paid multimillion-dollar ransoms (examples cited: $16.5M, $25.7M, $26.8M), have seized $10M in assets from Martino, and he faces up to 20 years imprisonment.
