FBI seizes RAMP cybercrime forum used by ransomware gangs www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…

The FBI has seized the notorious RAMP cybercrime forum, a platform used to advertise a wide range of malware and hacking services, and one of the few remaining forums that openly allowed the promotion of ransomware operations.

Both the forum’s Tor site and its clearnet domain, ramp4u[.]io, now display a seizure notice stating, “The Federal Bureau of Investigation has seized RAMP.”

“This action has been taken in coordination with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida and the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section of the Department of Justice,” the notice reads.
