The and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a joint to publicize indicators of compromise (IOCs) and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) associated with the Sn**ch ransomware variant, which has targeted a wide range of critical infrastructure sectors, including the defense industrial base, food and agriculture, and information technology.

Frequently, Sn**ch threat actors conduct ransomware operations involving data exfiltration and double extortion. To make more money off a single attack, these cybercriminals will not only lock up data and demand a ransom; they will also seek additional payment by threatening to post a victim’s data on Sn**ch’s extortion blog.

This joint is part of an ongoing effort to give network defenders the information they need to protect against the most prolific ransomware variants and threat actors. Click to read about Sn**ch ransomware and recommended mitigations:https://www.ic3.gov/Media/News/2023/230920.pdf

The United States government, through the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has seized 151.8 Bitcoin from the wallet of Olalekan Jacob Ponle, also known as ‘Mr Woodberry’.

According to court documents from the United States District Court for the Northern District Of Illinois, U.S. prosecutors sought forfeiture of any property derived from the proceeds of Mr Ponle’s criminal enterprise.

“Through the violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343 as alleged in Counts One through Eight of the indictment, the United States seeks forfeiture of any property involved in or traceable to the defendant’s violation including, but not limited to 151.885720427 Bitcoin Cryptocurrency pursuant to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C) and 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c),” the court documents said.

The forfeiture filing was dated April 29, 2022, when Bitcoin was trading at $39,457, bringing the value of the haul to $6 million.

In 2020, the FBI filed a complaint against Mr Ponle regarding his criminal activities and how he used Bitcoin to conceal stolen funds from his alleged criminal activities online. The bureau noted that Mr Ponle had been using the same address (16AtGJbaxL2kmzx4mW5ocpT2ysTWxmacWn) since 2014.

The intelligence agency further revealed how Mr Ponle and his accomplices engaged in a scheme known as business email compromise (BEC) and subsequently defrauded American companies of tens of millions of dollars while converting $6.5 million into 1,500 BTC.

“Preliminary blockchain analysis indicates that PONLE received at least 1,494.71506296 bitcoin related to these BEC schemes, valued at approximately $6,599,499.98 at the time he received the proceeds,” the document added.

Mr Ponle, also known as ‘Mr Woodbery’, and ‘Mark Kain’, was arraigned on a separate charge in Chicago last July

He was arrested in Dubai alongside some underground hackers and charged in a U.S. District Court in Chicago with conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

The jury’s eight-count charge of wire fraud still holds, meaning Mr Ponle stands to forfeit, to the U.S. government, any property derived from the proceeds of his crimes.
