Ransomware crooks now extort each other
Crooks now want sixty grand to wipe data from other criminals' servers. Just another Tuesday in IT extortion.

The Full Story
Here we go again with lovely new extortion models, as a rogue affiliate called Ransom Busters demands sixty grand from poor ransomware victims to scrub their data off compromised RaaS admin panels. Victims of various ransomware crews are the lucky targets dragged into this nonsense, and our only hope to protect ourselves from such affiliate shenanigans is somehow stopping the initial ransomware compromises altogether, though why do we even bother hoping for secure admin panels in underground criminal syndicates.
