Other articles have said that Darkside sells the software that they sell it to other criminals.

So has Darkside deployed the software this time?

Has some other party purchased and deployed the software?

Has the FBI acquired the software (through purchase or confiscation of a criminal’s machine)?

Some media outlets are saying it is a Robin Hood group who extort money from companies to give it to “charity”. Whatever the money is used for is immaterial and Darkside says they do this “to make money”.

So some of the stories the FBI are circulating are conflicting.

And The White House says they only learned of it today. So the FBI didn’t brief the President of the United States about this??

More cluelessness from the incompetent Biden Administration ... don't know if the country can survive 4 years of these idiots

Maybe Darkside doesn't sell the software, they Resell the software.

Sounds like a "Democrat" Group to me, maybe the FBI assumed the White House already knew.

Obama always used to pull the ‘we only just found out about it in the news’ excuse whenever faced with a non-softball question.
