Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco proudly declared, “In disrupting the BlackCat ransomware group, the Justice Department has once again hacked the hackers.” The FBI played superhero by whipping up a decryption tool, coming to the rescue of over 500 Blackcat victims and stopping a massive $68 million from going into the hackers’ pockets as ransom.
