Now, @FBI’s Tanya Ugoretz and @SecretService’s Michael D’Ambrosio talking about how law enforcement can help companies handle ransomware at our #cyberEnforcementGap symposium.
D’Ambrosio notes that criminals hacking for money like to travel somewhere nice to spend that money. When they do, if you time it right, you can arrest them there.
Ugoretz notes that Russia tries all kinds of tactics to try to foil extradition requests, including filing spurious claims, counter-indictments.
Ugoretz notes sometimes nation state actors don’t use the most sophisticated tools so they can pretend like they are regular criminals.
D’Ambrosio says the quicker you get to law enforcement the quicker they can get FINCEN on it to trace the money.
Ugoretz notes FBI has a lost asset recovery team to try to get the money back. They have an over 78% recovery rate if crime reported in 48 hours.

This is a new development in the last couple of years, a big deal.
