BlackMatter ransomware claims to be shutting down due to police pressure

The BlackMatter ransomware is allegedly shutting down its operation due to pressure from the authorities and recent law enforcement operations. The group operates a private ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) website that affiliates can use to communicate with the core operators, open support tickets, and receive new ransomware builds. It is unclear what “latest news” is referring to, but the missing team members could be related to a recent international law enforcement operation arresting twelve individuals linked to 1,800 ransomware attacks in 71 countries.”]
