I wonder if/how much this has to do with the situation Russia is in?
A number of sanctions has made Russian money harder to move around, likely making it more difficult to pay said hackers. Couple that with crypto falling apart, the entire ransomeware thing is not near as profitable as it used to be.
Then we have a large amount of cyber attacks focused on Ukraine that appear to be occurring at a military level. Its it possible the people that were busy spamming the world at one point are now caught up in this war and not working on external money making endevors?
