Alex Iftimie spoke to Threatpost about the public-private Ransomware Task Force, a coalition of 60 global entities that has proposed a sweeping plan to hunt down and disrupt ransomware gangs by going after their financial operations.“The Task Force will help the Department of Justice take a coordinated and focused approach to what has become a widespread scourge of ransomware and other cyber-extortion,” Alex said. “I expect we’ll see more extortionists in handcuffs, additional disruption operations focused on hackers’ infrastructure and malware, and additional diplomatic pressure on jurisdictions that harbor or turn a blind eye to the activity under their noses.
