Previously ALPHV ransomware group reported to us that their website was offline due to hardware failure. This has happened to them in the past, so the excuse was plausible. However, as you can see from the image above, it was not hardware failure.

We spoke with Lockbit ransomware group administrative staff today about the ALPHV situation
Lockbit believes what has happened to ALPHV is unfortunate and the FBI poses a considerable threat to his organization
*Image translated from Russian to English
Updated United States government vs ALPHV ransomware group
The FBI has re-seized ALPHV's old website, ALPHV would then take it back. It has been seized and then 'unseized' roughly 4 times today.
Lockbit ransomware group is now trying to poach ALPHV developers and affiliates
ALPHV has ... unseized their domain?
They claim the FBI compromised one of their domain controllers. Additionally, they state they are removing all rules from their affiliate program (omit the rule on targetting the CIS) - allowing affiliates to target critical infrastructure
The FBI ALPHV search warrant states that a confidential informant got access to the ALPHV panel.
Then the FBI did an ... 'investigation' on the ALPHV panel, managed to get visibility into the ALPHV network, got 946 private/public keys and access to other affiliate panels (???)
ALPHV ransomware group administrative group has contacted us to inform us they have moved their servers and blogs.
