What’s not to love about an international law enforcement operation wreaking disruption on Hive, the ransomware-wielding crime syndicate? But with no suspects in jail, it’s unclear how long this takedown will stick before the bad guys get back their sting.

There’s still plenty to celebrate since Hive, one of the world’s most active ransomware groups, went dark last week after the FBI and German and Dutch law enforcement agencies seized its servers. Anyone attempting to visit Hive’s dark web sites didn’t see ransomware content, but rather a seizure notice (see: FBI Seizes Hive Ransomware Servers in Multinational Takedown).
