to the hackers&#039; bitcoin account of ransomware hackers Darkside&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;Regulators have repeatedly criticised the growth of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin because of their popularity with criminals but the technology&#039;s transparent transactions can also work against law breakers.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The lesson is one that has been learnt by cybercriminal hackers Darkside the hard way after the organisation extracted a $4.4 million ransom from oil company Colonial Pipeline in bitcoin.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Following the ransomware extortion, which forced the shutdown of a major fuel network in the eastern United States last month, the US Justice Department said it has clawed back $2.3 million of the funds by tracing financial transactions.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&quot;Following the money remains one of the most basic, yet powerful, tools we have,&quot; US Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said on Monday.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The financial forensics to track crypto transactions are more complex on the decentralised and anonymous networks.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;For a traditional bank payment, police can turn to the bank that sent or received the money but for bitcoin, the registry that records these transactions -- the blockchain -- does not ask users to reveal their identity.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;But the blockchain is also public and available to everyone to download and piece together who might own the anonymous addresses where the bitcoin arrives.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;While some users keep their bitcoin safe in an offline wallet, for example on a USB stick or hard drive, Darkside&#039;s bitcoins were always linked to an online account.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Without specifying how they came by it -- whether by hacking or through an informant -- US authorities have said they were able to access the &quot;private key&quot; to the hackers&#039; online account.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;In 2019, analysis of the blockchain enabled British and American authorities to dismantle a child pornography ring and arrest more than 300 people in 38 countries.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The complex tracking of transactions has become an industry in its own right.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Firms specialising in blockchain analysis have developed, such as Chainalysis in the United States and Elliptic in Britain.&lt;br&gt;
