Security News in Review: Biden Administration Aims to Disrupt Ransomware Gangs Community Chats Webinars Library Security News in Review: Biden Administration Aims to Disrupt Ransomware Gangs This week in Security News in Review, you’ll find plans from the U.S. government on disrupting threat actor networks, more action from the DarkSide gang, and FIN7 masquerading as a security analysis firm. US government plans to disrupt hackers behind Colonial Pipeline ransomware, Biden says — In the wake of the Colonial Pipeline being hamstrung by ransomware this past week, President Biden said the U.S. government aims to disrupt the operations of ransomware networks within Russia. This did not extend to a retaliatory attack against DarkSide’s owners, but has thus far involved reaching out to Moscow to entreat the Russian government to take action against the cybercriminals residing within its borders. It remains to be seen whether the U.S. government will target DarkSide directly or the affiliate that used the group’s ransomware to target the Colonial Pipeline.
