It's only been how long now?

We have to be patient! (Sarcasm)

We have to let the DOJ get their case together! (Sarcasm) {Like the rest of America didn't see that Bannon was going to defy the subpoena? Couldn't the DOJ have been ready with a case prepared?}

Everything's rosey!!! (Sarcasm)

We got the Infrastructure Bill passed!!! (Sarcasm)

Now, the press conference today is "look at us! We've caught some hackers!!!" (Sarcasm - because why weren't there defenses already in place to keep from being hacked in the first place?)

I know, I expect a lot, right? I want Trump and Bannon in JAIL so that I don't have to worry about a repeat of their treason in 2024.

https://www.zdnet.com/article/ransomware-suspected-revil-ransomware-affiliates-arrested/

The operation involved police from countries around the world and international law enforcement agencies Europol, Eurojust and Interpol. The arrests follow a joint operation which was able to identify intercept communications and seize infrastructure used during campaigns.

Operation GoldDust also received support from the cybersecurity industry from companies including Bitdefender, KPN and McAfee. Researchers at Bitdefender provided technical insights throughout the investigation, along with decryption tools to help victims of ransomware attacks recover their files without having to pay the ransom.

Decryption tools for several versions of GandCrab and REvil ransomware are available for free via the No More Ransom project. According to Europol, the REvil decryption tools have helped more than 1,400 companies decrypt their networks following ransomware attacks, saving over €475 million ($550 million) from being paid to cyber criminals.

Europol supported the operation by providing analytical support, as well analysis into malware and cryptocurrency. The 17 countries participating in Operation GoldDust are Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Romania, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Kuwait, the United Kingdom and the United States.
