DarkSide, the hacker group behind the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, received $90 million in bitcoin payments following a nine-month cybercrime spree. The group’s developer is said to have received $15.5 million in bitcoins, while the remaining $74.7 million was split among its affiliates. An analysis of blockchain transactions uncovered the syndicate had made $17.5m in the past three months alone, with roughly 10% of the profits coming from payouts made by chemical distribution company Brenntag.
