Canadian ransomware negotiator arrested in FBI hacker crackdown
Original: Canadian ransomware negotiator arrested amid FBI hacker crackdown
A Canadian who worked as a ransomware negotiator has been arrested as part of an FBI-led crackdown on hackers. The case is drawing attention in cybersecurity circles because ransomware negotiators typically act as intermediaries between victims and attackers, and the arrest raises questions about how close those on the industry's fringes may be to criminal activity.
Why now: The unusual arrest of someone on the defensive side of the ransomware industry amid an FBI enforcement sweep is raising concerns about boundaries in the cyber-response field.
