Getting hit with ransomware is seldom short of a nightmare situation. Finding out the call might just be coming from inside the house definitely kicks both the fear and the frustration up a notch.
Three men who had previously worked in the cybersecurity industry have pleaded guilty to conspiring to deploy ransomware. Between April 2023 and November 2023, the group deployed Blackcat/ALPHV ransomware against a number of victims, extorting just one of these for $1.2 million in Bitcoin, according to the US Department of Justice.
