"Conti Ransomware Source Code Leaked"
A hacker claiming to be Ukrainian has leaked Conti ransomware source code after the cybercrime gang behind the ransomware showed support for Russia. The Conti ransomware group released a statement saying it would target the critical infrastructure of Russia's enemies in retaliation for attacks on Russia. They later claimed that they condemned the war and are not allies of any government, but said they are prepared to respond to "American cyber aggression." Someone then created a Twitter account called "conti leaks," where they started leaking files associated with the Conti ransomware operation. Some say the individual behind the leaks is a Ukrainian security researcher, while others say they are a Ukrainian member of the Conti group. The first set of files contained tens of thousands of messages exchanged by Conti members since January 2021. The information included Bitcoin addresses, conversations with victims, IP addresses, and more. The Twitter account has continued releasing Conti chat logs, credentials, email addresses, screenshots, command-and-control (C2) server details, and other files. This article continues to discuss the leak of files associated with the Coni ransomware operation.
