It has been quite a busy week with ransomware, with law enforcement making arrests, data-wiping attacks, and the return of the Qlocker ransomware. This week's biggest news is Russia's arrest of fourteen suspected members of the REvil ransomware operation. In addition, a senior Biden administration official said that one of the fourteen suspects is responsible for the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack. Europol also conducted a law enforcement operation against VPNLab, a platform commonly used by ransomware gangs. Law enforcement operatives seized 15 servers used by the VPNLab.net service and took down its main site, making the platform no longer available.
