Reply to comment by Ffffqqq in FBI has seized website used by notorious ransomware gang by Bananaramas

Depends on what they actually did here and the details in the article are vague. Simply put; If they seized the domain name I’d consider it a minor inconvenience. If they seized the actual server hosting the website they could find artifacts on it that lead them to the perpetrator(s).

The court order lays out more of the details and basically the people running Hive were morons and had networking, c2, and database servers hosted in Los Angeles and the Netherlands where the fbi and other western law enforcement agencies could actually get physical access to clone the server data and then take control of them so I suspect this will actually break the hive network fairly considerably.

TLDR: if you do cybercrime don’t host your servers in the United States lol
