Summary

Hide ▲

The FBI seized the RAMP cybercrime forum, taking down a ransomware-focused marketplace that had been used to advertise malware, hacking services, and related criminal activity. Both the forum’s Tor site and clearnet domain ramp4u[.]io now display seizure notices, and the infrastructure has been pointed to ns1.fbi.seized.gov and ns2.fbi.seized.gov. The action was coordinated with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida and the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section of the Department of Justice. Analysts said the seizure may expose user data such as email addresses, IP addresses, and private messages, increasing identification risk for forum participants.
