Joshuark shares a report from BleepingComputer: The FBI has He took over the famous RAMP cybercrime forum.a platform used to advertise a wide range of malware and hacking services, and one of the few remaining forums that openly allowed the promotion of ransomware operations. Both the forum’s Tor site and its clearnet domain, ramp4u[.]io, now displays a seizure notice that says: “The Federal Bureau of Investigation has seized RAMP.”
While there has been no official announcement from authorities regarding this seizure, the domain name servers have now been changed to those used by the FBI when seizing domains. If so, authorities now have access to a significant amount of data linked to forum users, including email addresses, IP addresses, private messages, and other potentially incriminating information. In a post on the XSS hacking forum, one of the alleged former RAMP operators known as “Stallman” confirmed the seizure.
