FBI's Digital Sting Exposes Hacking Hackers and Anarchist Server Raid

The FBI's recent takedown of the cybercrime gang known as Hive reflects a shift in their approach to fighting cybercrime, focusing on disrupting hackers from afar rather than arresting them. The FBI infiltrated Hive's network and helped targeted organizations unlock their systems, saving victims an estimated $130 million. However, this approach has its limits, as the criminals can regroup and continue their activities. The FBI's success in infiltrating Hive did not lead to the group's complete demolition, as they maintained a steady pace of attacks. The takedown may lead to more arrests in the long term, but the threat of ransomware groups resurfacing remains.
