The BlackSuit ransomware organization, which for years has extorted U.S. hospitals, critical infrastructure, and businesses, has taken a major hit under a U.S.-led, global law enforcement operation that seized the criminal group’s servers and assets, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said Monday.
BlackSuit, previously known as the Royal Ransomware group, has since 2022 extorted at least 450 U.S. business and institutional victims of a total of $370 million, according to an August 2024 advisory of the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
