Dark web REvil goes offline days after Joe Biden tells Vladimir Putin to rein in ransomware gangs
President Joe Biden told Russian President Vladimir Putin on a call on Friday that he needed to rein in attacks from Russia-based groups and warned that the US had the right to defend its people and critical infrastructure from attacks.But there were no immediate or public signs that the government had anything to do with REvil appearing offline.
“It could be that the server hardware failed, or that it was intentionally taken down, or that someone attacked their host,” said Sean Gallagher, a threat researcher at the cybersecurity firm Sophos.He noted that REvil’s public ransom-negotiating site was also down last week.
