FBI recovers part of Colonial Piple line ransom

FBI recovers a chunk of the BITCOIN Ransom paid for the Colonial Pipeline ransom attack. The victim contacted the FBI and then agreed to pay the ransom. The FBI was able to track the origin back to a hacking group called Darkside. They followed the bitcoin public ledger to identify the address receiving the two bitcoin payments. The FBI then used a private key to collect a portion of the funds. They also used blockchain explorer software to track down the payment. https://cyware.com/news/how-the-fbi-recovered-bitcoin-ransom-paid-to-darkside-ransomware-gang-02887672
