REvil Ransomware Hackers and Their Presence in the US

Last October, the REvil ransomware hacking group has declared that they are no longer continuing their operations to hack people with their virus and extort money from them in the first place. The group is known for hacking their way secretly into systems before stealing sensitive information from the servers or clouds and using it to get money from the victims.

REvil's hacking group is best known for its massive attack that it has launched against Kaseya, a known IT management tool and platform that helps in massive corporations and B2B. The notorious actions of the group have gained its international infamy, being the reason for joint task forces in cybercrime to help pinpoint their locations.

The group is primarily made of Russian hackers as per the built profile of the FBI, but it remains unknown if other nationalities have affiliated themselves with the group. REvil is best known for victimizing American businesses and operations, now being hunted down by the FBI, with Siberia having no extradition laws for US prosecution.
