U.S. government denies disrupting Russian ransomware ring that hacked Colonial Pipeline

The shuttering of DarkSide’s operation last Thursday also has led to grousing by hackers affiliated with the group who claim they have not been paid by the ringleaders, according to cyber experts tracking the group. It is not clear whether these affiliates were involved with the cyberattack on Colonial Pipeline on May 7, which led the company to shut down its pipeline for days, creating fuel shortages and panic buying in the southeastern United States.
