Servers Of Colonial Pipeline Hacker Darkside Forced Down: Security Firm 05/14/21 AT 10:54 AM Servers for Darkside were taken down by unknown actors Friday, a week after the cyber extortionist forced the shutdown of a large US oil pipeline in a ransomware scam, a US cyber security firm said. Recorded Future, the security firm, said in a post that the allegedly Russia-based Darkside had admitted in a web post that it lost access to certain servers used for its web blog and for payments. Accessed via TOR on the dark web, the Darkside site address showed a notice saying it could not be found.
