US infiltrates big ransomware gang: 'We hacked the hackers'

“Simply put, using lawful means we hacked the hackers,” Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said at a news conference. Officials said the targeted syndicate, known as Hive, operates one of the world's top five ransomware networks. A U.S. government advisory last year said Hive ransomware actors victimized over 1,300 companies worldwide from June 2021 through November 2022, receiving approximately $100 million in ransom payments. It said criminals using Hive ransomware targeted a wide range of businesses and critical infrastructure, including government, manufacturing and especially health care and public health facilities. It did so in the case of a major 2021 ransomware attack on Kaseya, a company whose software runs hundreds of websites.

Justice Dept. sues Google over digital advertising dominance

WASHINGTON — (AP) — The Justice Department and several states sued Google on Tuesday, alleging that its dominance in digital advertising harms competition. The DOJ's suit accuses Google of unlawfully monopolizing the way ads are served online by excluding competitors. This is the latest legal action taken against Google by either the Justice Department or local state governments. In October 2020, for instance, the Trump administration and eleven state attorneys general sued Google for violating antitrust laws, alleging anticompetitive practices in the search and search advertising markets. The lawsuit in essence aligns the Biden administration and new states with the 35 states and District of Colombia that sued Google in December 2020 over the exact same issues.

Biden classified documents: What are special counsels and what exactly can they do?

A special counsel — formerly referred to as a special prosecutor or independent counsel — is an attorney appointed to investigate, and potentially prosecute, a particular case of suspected wrongdoing. But in "extraordinary circumstances," federal regulations allow the attorney general to appoint a special counsel. When the special counsel’s work is done, the regulations say, they are expected to submit a report to the attorney general. What powers do special counsels have? In addition to the authority to bring indictments, special counsels are vested with the authority to issue subpoenas and search warrants.

Feds finalize tighter regulations on gun stabilizing braces

WASHINGTON — (AP) — The Justice Department is finalizing tighter regulations on guns with accessories known as stabilizing braces, a gun-control action touted by President Joe Biden after the devices were used in mass shootings in recent years. A stabilizing brace was also used in a shooting in Dayton, Ohio, that left nine people dead in 2019. The new rule will treat guns with the accessories like short-barreled rifles, a weapon that is like a sawed-off shotgun and has been heavily regulated since the 1930s. Pistol-stabilizing braces transform a handgun into a weapon with a similarly dangerous combination of being powerful and easy to conceal, said Attorney General Merrick Garland. Officials estimated about 3 million stabilizing braces are currently in circulation in the U.S.

WASHINGTON — (AP) — Robert Hur, a former U.S. attorney for Maryland nominated by then-President Donald Trump, will serve as special counsel to investigate the presence of documents with classified markings found at President Joe Biden's home in Delaware and at an office in Washington.
