bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…
The National Police of Ukraine says the Clop gang is behind financial damages of $500 million.

Clop's Tor payment and data leak sites are still operational, so it looks like the Clop ransomware operation has not been completely shut down at this time.

The Clop ransomware gang is also linked to the recent wave of Accellion data breaches which drove up average ransom prices for the first three months of 2021.
