Two former employees of cybersecurity firms, Kevin Tyler Martin and Ryan Clifford Goldberg, have been indicted for allegedly hacking U.S. companies and extorting them for millions, including a $10 million demand from a Florida medical device firm. The indictment cites their involvement with the ransomware ALPHV, which has previously disrupted critical services. Both firms, DigitalMint and Sygnia Cybersecurity Services, deny knowledge of the illicit activities, emphasizing their cooperation with law enforcement. This incident raises serious concerns about trust in cybersecurity professionals, highlighting the challenges of combating a growing ransomware threat that undermines essential services and inflicts significant economic damage on the U.S. economy.
