Cyber Heist Repeat: BlackCat Ransomware’s $22M Exit Scam Shakes Up Healthcare
BlackCat ransomware’s nine lives are up! They tried to claw their way out with a $22 million ‘FBI’ yarn after hacking healthcare. Now, they’re on a cyber catnap, but don’t expect this kitty to purr quietly for long.
Hot Take:
Once upon a cybercrime, the BlackCat/ALPHV ransomware gang thought it would be a purr-fect idea to play a high-stakes game of cat and mouse with the FBI. Surprise, surprise, they got their claws caught in the cookie jar called critical infrastructure, and now they're meowing a different tune. After a spectacular heist gone rogue, they've done the digital equivalent of flipping the Monopoly board and storming off – but not before snagging a cool $22 million. Let's just say, they've put a whole new spin on "ghosting."
