It has been quite the week when it comes to ransomware, with ransoms being paid, ransoms being taken back, and a ransomware gang shutting down.
This week's biggest news was the FBI announcing that they were able to recover the majority of the $4.4 million ransom payment paid by Colonial Pipeline. It is not entirely clear how they obtained the private key for the cryptocurrency wallet, but it is believed DarkSide stored it on a seized server.
