The FBI announced the takedown of Hive, a ransomware network with members across multiple states in Europe and North America, in a recent press release. The US agency stated that they had been on the case since at least 2021. A high-profile example of this attack would be the encryption of the Costa Rican healthcare service’s computers during the spring of 2022, with Hive requesting $5 million in Bitcoin in exchange for decryption.
