In December 2023, the FBI successfully infiltrated the networks of the AlphV ransomware group and its affiliates, stealing decryption keys and distributing them to over five hundred affected organizations over eighteen months. The FBI also seized the group's leak site, significantly disrupting its operations. The AlphV ransomware group is suspected to be affiliated with the Russian Federation. The incident primarily targeted the private sector, and the responses from the victim government and policymakers remain unknown.
