FBI seizes RAMP cybercrime forum used by ransomware gangs

FBI Pulls the Plug on Ramp Cybercrime Forum – Cue the Hacker Tears

Well, what a bloody surprise — the FBI finally got off its collective arse and seized the Ramp cybercrime forum, one of those delightful cesspools where ransomware twats and digital leeches gather to flog stolen data and recruit fresh meat. The operation yanked the rug out from under yet another group of keyboard cowboys trying to act like Bond villains while sitting in their mum’s basement surrounded by Dorito dust. Bravo, you magnificent bastards at the FBI — took you long enough.

Ramp wasn’t just some bargain-bin hacking board; it was a networking party for ransomware slimebags — the kind that like to brag about who they squeezed for a ransom, all while pretending they’re some kind of “cyber entrepreneurs.” The feds swooped in, smacked down the forum’s servers, and plastered their “This domain has been seized” banners all over it like a digital eviction notice sent straight from karma’s personal inbox.

Of course, the script kiddies are now scurrying off trying to resurrect their little underworld playground, probably crying about free speech and “ethical hacking” between bites of cold pizza. You know, the usual tragicomic routine. Meanwhile, law enforcement’s clearly planning a few new trophies for their wall — maybe a few more forums to nuke next.

In short: FBI 1, ransomware dipshits 0. And somewhere, in a dingy apartment with no curtains, a wannabe cybercriminal is furiously Googling “how to not get raided by FBI” while his entire empire of stolen credentials goes up in smoke. Bloody beautiful.

Reminds me of the time some muppet tried to ransom my test server for “100 dollars in crypto” — so I encrypted his own home directory instead. Took him three days and a nervous breakdown to beg for his files back. Some lessons are best taught with pain.
