Columbia Pipeline Hackers going dark
Some security experts warn the group may taking the ransom and running. But they may not be gone forever. DarkSide may be going dark until the heat from the high-profile attack dies down.
The Colonial Pipeline is resuming operations but there is still a gasoline shortage throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States. And the U.S. claims to be treating the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack as an act of war.
DarkSide’s website still includes a display page that shows data from their victims that haven’t paid a ransom. It also had a way for the media and hacking victims to register online.
But it seems that DarkSide’s days as a large “ransomware-as-a-service” company operating a platform for other hackers, or their “affiliates” are over. The Columbia Pipeline hackers are running, but the U.S. may be in hot pursuit.
