Federal authorities have recovered more than two million dollars in cryptocurrency paid in ransom to a Russian hacker ring whose attack last month led to the shutdown of Colonial Pipeline washingtonpost.com According to the initial report, officials tracked the ransom to a digital wallet associated with Darkside, the group believed to be responsible for the attack. Over the last several years, exchanges have worked with governments, providing lists of individuals associated with wallets.
