DarkSide ransomware servers reportedly seized, operation shuts down

The DarkSide ransomware operation has allegedly shut down after the threat actors lost access to servers and their cryptocurrency was transferred to an unknown wallet. This news was shared by a threat actor known as ‘UNKN’, the public-facing representative of the rival REvil ransomware gang, in a forum post first discovered by Recorded Future researcher Dmitry Smilyanets on the Exploit hacking forum. In the post, ‘Unkn’ shared a message allegedly from DarkSide explaining how the threat actor lost access. This comes a day after President Biden said that countries harboring ransomware networks must take action to shut them down.
