Attorney General Merrick Garland announced a Justice Department raid took down an international ransomware network, known as the “Hive” group, responsible for extorting and attempting to extort hundreds of millions of dollars from victims in the United States and around the world. The attorney general said Hive affiliates targeted critical infrastructure and important industries, including a Midwest hospital in August 2021, which was forced to pay a ransom. He then said FBI agents infiltrated the Hive network last summer and, last night, two of the group’s computer servers were located and seized in Los Angeles, which stored critical information. Reporters also questioned the attorney general about the special counsels appointed in former President Trump’s and President Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified documents. close
