The U.S. Department of Justice announced a significant case development. The Southern District of Florida Federal Court has accepted plea agreements from two American men. These individuals admitted that from April 2023 until the end of the year, they operated the ALPHV (also known as BlackCat) ransomware, launching attacks on multiple U.S. victims. Through their extortion activities, they directly impacted interstate commerce. More importantly, court documents show that these two individuals and another co-conspirator siphoned off 20% of the ransom money extorted from victims to the ALPHV BlackCat operational team. In other words, this is a highly organized extortion crime involving a multi-tiered revenue sharing model. This case serves as a reminder to the crypto community that the commercialization of hacker organizations has become the norm, and users and businesses need to heighten their security awareness in Web3 asset protection.
