“Interestingy, the hackers posted a message on its dark web page that it would vet buyers of its ransomware in the future to “avoid social consequences.””
I’ve been thinking about that. I think they want to be like the mafia - keep their heads down, try not to draw enough attention to risk getting broken up or jailed, and simply make money.
However, they blew it with this company...and now they’re scared to death that people will be coming for them, to put an end to their little racket.
They should be scared. White-hat hackers could and would expose them.
Unless the rumors of FBI involvement are true.
In which case, nobody's scared. In fact, they'd be satisfied and defiant.
