BlackMatter, the ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) group behind a string of cyberattacks, has reportedly been forced offline. The group’s recent behaviour is said to have angered both their criminal affiliates and law enforcement agencies, leading cybersecurity experts to believe that it has disappeared voluntarily in order to avoid trouble.

The disappearance of BlackMatter bears a striking similarity to the behaviour of another RaaS gang, Darkside, which vanished from the internet in June. Many believe BlackMatter is a new incarnation of Darkside run by the same group of threat actors.
