Site catering to online criminals has been seized by the FBI
摘要
美国联邦调查局（FBI）近日查封了以俄语为主的网络犯罪论坛RAMP的暗网和明网网站。该论坛曾自称是“唯一允许勒索软件交易的地方”，是勒索软件等网络威胁产品与服务的主要交易平台之一。此次行动由FBI与美国司法部等部门协调执行，旨在打击日益猖獗、威胁全球关键基础设施和组织的网络犯罪活动。
RAMP—the predominantly Russian-language online bazaar that billed itself as the “only place ransomware allowed”—had its dark web and clear web sites seized by the FBI as the agency tries to combat the growing scourge threatening critical infrastructure and organizations around the world.
Visits to both sites on Wednesday returned pages that said the FBI had taken control of the RAMP domains, which mirrored each other. RAMP has been among the dwindling number of online crime forums to operate with impunity, following the takedown of other forums such as XSS, which saw its leader arrested last year by Europol. The vacuum left RAMP as one of the leading places for people pushing ransomware and other online threats to buy, sell, or trade products and services.
I regret to inform you
“The Federal Bureau of Investigation has seized RAMP,” a banner carrying the seals of the FBI and the Justice Department said. “This action has been taken in coordination with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida and the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section of the Department of Justice.” The banner included a graphic that appeared on the RAMP site, before it was seized, that billed itself as the “only place ransomware allowed.”
