FBI, others crush REvil using ransomware gang's favorite tactic against it

17. A few thoughts of mine...

I've been following Ransomware for quite a while, and have learned a great deal about the subject since. The threat has always been there but it has now scaled to become a major global economic risk factor.

The Biden administration's actions stand in stark contrast to the absolute inaction of the TGS. Especially when you take into consideration how much of the Ransomware attacks have links to Russian aligned countries/players.

After 9/11, we saw the effect of bringing the entire capability of our US military and intelligence resources to bear on a serious global problem. The problem now as we are about to learn, is we are creating something much worse than a double edge sword. I worry that turning our Military into an offensive cyber force will create a monster that will likely be used in the not too distant future by corrupted players against US.
