U.S. law enforcement agencies provided new details on an operation that dismantled critical infrastructure used by the BlackSuit ransomware gang after the organization’s leak site was replaced with a takedown banner nearly two weeks ago. The group — which rebranded from its Royal name after a devastating 2023 attack that shut down the city of Dallas — successfully attacked more than 450 entities in the U.S. Since emerging in 2022, the gang secured more than $370 million in ransom payments, according to U.S. investigators. “The BlackSuit ransomware gang’s persistent targeting of U.S. critical infrastructure represents a serious threat to U.S. public safety,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Eisenberg.
