""As expected, the indictment does not allege that the company had any knowledge of or involvement in the criminal activity,""
""DigitalMint has been and continues to be a cooperating witness in the investigation and not an investigative target,""
""The alleged criminal activity happened \"outside of DigitalMint's infrastructure and systems,\" Solomon added. \"The co-conspirators did not access or compromise client data as part of the charged conduct ... No one potentially involved in the charged scheme has worked at the company in over four months.\"""
Ryan Clifford Goldberg of Watkinsville, Georgia; Kevin Tyler Martin of Roanoke, Texas; and an unnamed co-conspirator in Land O'Lakes, Florida were indicted for allegedly breaking into corporate networks, stealing sensitive data, deploying ALPHV/BlackCat ransomware, and demanding tens of millions in extortion payments. The attacks targeted a Tampa medical device company, a Maryland pharmaceutical firm, a California doctor's office, a California engineering company, and a Virginia drone manufacturer between May and November 2023. Martin worked as a ransomware negotiator for DigitalMint and Goldberg as an incident response manager for Sygnia. DigitalMint stated it had no knowledge of the crimes, is cooperating with investigators, and asserted the alleged activity occurred outside its systems and did not compromise client data.
