FBI Arrests Executive at Ransomware Negotiation Firm
The FBI has arrested the founder of a firm that specialized in negotiating with ransomware gangs on behalf of victim companies. The arrest, reported by KrebsOnSecurity, raises questions about how someone embedded in the ransomware response industry came under federal investigation, and whether client negotiations or payments were involved in the alleged misconduct.
Why now: The arrest of a trusted intermediary in ransomware attacks undermines confidence in the incident-response industry and touches many past breach cases.
