Hive, "considered a top-five ransomware threat by the FBI," allegedly targeted more than 1,500 victims globally since June 2021. The group allegedly offered its malware to other ransomware actors by selling “ransomware-as-a-service.” FBI Director Christopher Wray said only 20% of observed Hive victims reached out to law enforcement.
