Editor's take: Ransomware attacks in recent years have proven that no company is safe from them, which has encouraged hacker groups like DarkSide to grow their ambitions and go after larger targets. Unfortunately for them, this also prompted a fierce response from government agencies -- something they likely didn't expect or plan for. Still, there are voices in the security community that say this is merely an "exit scam," where ransomware operators retreat for a while to plan for their future attacks.
