BlackCat “unseizes” data leak site

Tuesday afternoon, the ransomware operation “unseized” their data leak site to regain control of the URL and claimed that the FBI gained access to a data center they were using to host servers.

As both the ALPHV operators and the FBI now control the private keys used to register the data leak site’s onion URL in Tor, they can go back and forth, seizing the URL from each other, which has been done throughout the day.
