FBI Decryption Tool:

FBI created a tool to help impacted victims recover their systems. The FBI has accessed the Blackcat ransomware group’s computer network and seized their websites as part of the investigation.

“Today’s announcement highlights the Justice Department’s ability to take on even the most sophisticated and prolific cybercriminals,” said U.S. Attorney Markenzy Lapointe for the Southern District of Florida.

“The FBI continues to be unrelenting in bringing cybercriminals to justice and determined in its efforts to defeat and disrupt ransomware campaigns targeting critical infrastructure, the private sector, and beyond,” said FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate.

Ransomware has attacked important systems in the United States, such as government facilities, emergency services, defense companies, manufacturing, healthcare, and schools.
