US authorities submit civil complaints to secure $ 2.4 million in Bitcoin from the chaos-ransomware network

The US authorities have submitted a civil complaint to confiscate $ 2.4 million in Bitcoin, which were captured by the chaos ransomware group. This confiscation aims to include the corresponding Bitcoin in the strategic reserves of the country.

The Chaos Ransomware Group has ensured numerous cyber attacks and extortion in recent years that have significantly damaged companies and individuals. By confiscating this cryptocurrency, the US authorities not only want to contain the financing of illegal activities, but also regain part of the stealthy profits.

The legal measures for civil configuration are part of a more comprehensive strategy to act against cybercrime and ransomware attacks. The planned steps are intended to ensure that the financial resources that come from illegal activities do not flow back to the regular financial system and instead serve the lawful state purposes.

These developments show how serious the US government takes the fight against cybercrime and underpin the continuous efforts to increase security in digital space.
