The FBI has seized RAMP, a Russian-language online forum that served as a marketplace for ransomware and cybercrime services. Founded in 2012 and rebranded in 2021, the platform had over 14,000 vetted users and generated $250,000 annually. The takedown follows similar law enforcement actions against cybercrime forums like XSS, leaving fewer safe havens for ransomware operators to trade malware, services, and attack tutorials.
