The Associated Press is reporting that US authorities have seized the ransom that was paid to the Colonial Pipeline hackers. Since the payment was made in cryptocurrency, I'm actually really interested in what they're going to say at the press conference later about how they "seized" the ransom.
So how exactly did they go about that, did they find out the location of hackers and maybe arrested or maybe they happened to lay their hands or have access to something that belonged to the hackers? If not like this, I don’t think there is any how they would just magically lay their hands on the money that was sent through cryptocurrency.
By the way I don’t think that FBI is going to disclose how they did that , because they are very good at keeping secret. By the way, I hope the company has gotten back access to their system and are back to work.
