The US Department of Justice has shut down a prolific ransomware gang's website.

The US Justice Department has seized the website of a ransomware group that has caused havoc in recent years. The group, known as "Hive," was responsible for a string of ransomware attacks that affected a variety of targets, including hospitals, schools, and other organizations. The Department of Justice said that the takedown of Hive's website was part of an effort to disrupt their criminal activities, and to prevent further victims from falling victim to their malicious software. As part of the takedown, the DOJ also seized a variety of digital assets associated with the group.

This marks the latest move by the Department of Justice to tackle the increasing threat posed by ransomware gangs, which have been able to cause immense disruption in recent years.
