DarkNet: REvil Happy Ransomware Group Mysteriously Disappears Off the Darkweb
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-13/notorious-ransomware-gang... The Russia-linked ransomware gang REvil has seemingly vanished from the dark web, where it maintains several pages documenting its activities including one called the "happy blog." From a report: It's not yet known if the sites were down temporarily or if the group -- or law enforcement -- took its websites offline. "It's too early too tell, but I've never seen ALL of their infrastructure offline like this," said Allan Liska, senior threat analyst at cybersecurity firm Recorded Future, in a text message. "I can't find any of their infrastructure online. Their extortion page is gone, all of their payment portals are offline, as is their chat function." Liska said the websites went offline around 1 a.m. Eastern time. The sudden outage comes just days after President Joe Biden said he pressed Russian President Vladimir Putin to act against hackers in his country blamed for recent ransomware attacks.
