Feds get Ransomeware money back from Pipeline hackers….

Federal authorities have recovered millions of dollars in cryptocurrency paid in ransom to foreign hackers whose attack last month led to the shutdown of a major pipeline that provides nearly half the East Coast’s fuel, according to officials.

The seizure of funds paid by Colonial Pipeline to a Russian hacker ring marks the first time the Justice Department recovered such a payment — a significant milestone following a string of cyber attacks that panicked consumers and led President Biden to warn Russia that it needed to take “decisive action” against the criminal networks.
