This week we saw victim's continuing to use the legal system to target ransomware operator's assets and services as well as a new ransomware targeting vulnerabilities.

The most interesting news is how victims are utilizing the legal system to freeze or get injunctions against the assets and services used by ransomware operators. This was seen in the previous Southwire lawsuit against Maze and this week with a UK judge freezing the ransomware wallet for Bitpaymer.
