FBI disrupts Hive ransomware: Hospitals among those spared

The FBI, with the help of international law enforcement agencies, has seized the servers and websites of the Hive ransomware network. This action has disrupted Hive’s ability to carry out high-impact ransomware attacks, particularly against healthcare organizations. The American Hospital Association states that dismantling Hive will make hospitals safer from ransomware attacks. The FBI has also provided decryption keys to victims under attack. The DOJ is pursuing arrests for crimes by the Russia-linked organization behind Hive. The AHA encourages healthcare organizations to share information and collaborate with federal investigators.
