FBI Takes Down Chaos Ransomware’s $2.3M Bitcoin Stash—Criminals’ “Hors” Play Ends!
FBI Dallas seized 20 Bitcoins, worth over $2.3 million, from a Chaos ransomware member linked to Texas company cyberattacks. The crypto was traced to “Hors,” suspected of launching the attacks. Chaos, a rebrand of the BlackSuit ransomware group, seems to have learned that crime doesn’t pay, but it does get seized.
Hot Take:
Who knew that even chaos could be so organized? The FBI is now getting into Bitcoin investing, and by the looks of it, they’re making some serious “crypto” gains! With the latest seizure, it seems the only “chaos” in town is the one in Hors’ financial planning. Someone’s about to learn that crime doesn’t pay, especially when the feds have your wallet address!
