They appear prompted by the news, reported Thursday, that the FBI had successfully hacked and taken down another major ransomware group called REvil.
Several ransomware gangs posted lengthy anti-U.S. screeds, viewed by NBC News, on the dark web. In them, they defended their practice of hacking organizations and holding their computers for ransom. They appear prompted by the news,by Reuters, that the FBI had successfully hacked and taken down another major ransomware group called REvil.
One of those, Conti, which regularly locks hospital computers and holds them for ransom — often delaying medical procedures — wrote that it would be undeterred by the U.S., and that ransomware hackers are the true victims. “Is there a law, even an American one, even a local one in any county of any of the 50 states, that legitimize such indiscriminate offensive action?” the author wrote.A third complained that cybersecurity companies and the FBI were getting too involved with trying to stop ransomware. “2 sides are interested. One side is company affected. Second side is ransom operator. Nobody else,” it wrote.
