TechCrunch learned, a leakage site used by the Everest Ransomware gang and was distorted this weekend.
The leak site, which Ranswear’s gang used to disclose the stolen files to provide the ransom demand to its victims, was replaced with a short text note: “Do not do bad XOXO from crime crime crime.”
The site was still deformed at the time of writing. It is not clear whether any data violation was also experienced as a result of the gang hack.
Everest is a Russian-connected Ransomwear Gang that has demanded credit for multiple hacks and data violations since its inception in 2021, which has more than 120,000 customer data stolen from the retail chain steiG. There are also US governments Several hacks have been blamed Everest with a violation of the US space agency NASA and the Brazilian government.
Ransomware (and extortion) attacks are increasing, but recent data shows that the number of hackers’ sufferer’s payment was reduced as a whole overall because more traders refused to give fat ransom.
Law enforcement operations have recently disrupted some Ranswear gangs, including Lockboat and Radar Hacking groups, but several ranswaire gangs have also felt harmful leaks and destructiveness.
