News summary

The FBI has successfully dismantled the Radar/Dispossessor ransomware group, marking a significant achievement in the ongoing battle against cybercrime. This coordinated international operation involved law enforcement agencies from the U.S., U.K., and Germany, leading to the seizure of 30 servers and multiple domains used by the gang. Since its emergence in August 2023, Radar/Dispossessor targeted small to mid-sized businesses across various sectors globally, employing a dual-extortion strategy that involved encrypting and exfiltrating data from victims. The group's tactics included exploiting weak passwords and inadequate security measures, impacting at least 43 companies in 13 countries. In a related incident, Swiss manufacturing firm Schlatter Group reported a cyberattack that has drawn attention due to ongoing threats of blackmail against it. As ransomware attacks continue to rise, the FBI's actions provide a rare glimpse of success in combating such criminal enterprises.
