According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on July 3, the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating a former employee of the cryptocurrency payment service company DigitalMint, who is accused of colluding with hackers in a ransomware attack to illegally profit from the ransom paid by the victim organizations.
DigitalMint President Marc Jason Grens informed partners of this investigation earlier this week. The company primarily acts as a negotiator in ransomware attack incidents and assists victim organizations with cryptocurrency payments.
