Hacktivists Strike At Ransomware's Soft Underbelly
Presented by

Policy & Intelligence
A purported group of pro-Ukrainian cyber activists, the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance, has disrupted an active ransomware gang, known as Trigona, by hacking and deleting the group's servers.
If a group of hacktivists can compromise a ransomware gang, these gangs are certainly susceptible to operations run by better organised and resourced state cyber outfits.
While the hacktivists’ actions will hurt, this is probably a speed hump for Trigona rather than an enduring disruption. The group claims that it will return quickly.
