The FBI has seized the RAMP (Russian Anonymous Marketplace) cybercrime forum, a major platform used by ransomware-as-a-service gangs, extortionists, and initial access brokers. The takedown, coordinated with the US Attorney's Office and DOJ, disrupted a core piece of criminal infrastructure. While one alleged operator confirmed the seizure and stated his core business continues, security researchers note that cybercrime forums typically reconstitute quickly on alternative platforms. Groups like Nova and DragonForce are already migrating to other marketplaces such as Rehub, though these transitions create operational risks and provide intelligence opportunities for defenders.
