"Ransomed.vc Gang Claims To Shut Down After Six Affiliates Allegedly Arrested"

The Ransomed.vc group, which has claimed responsibility for attacks on Sony, a state government website, and a Colonial Pipeline supplier, announced its closure after six of its affiliates were arrested. The ransomware group first appeared in August, pressuring victims with the possibility of European data breach fines if ransoms for stolen data were not paid. However, several companies listed on the group's leak site said they were never hacked. The person behind the gang recently announced their interest in selling the entire operation. In now-deleted messages on Telegram, the hacker said that they were selling the group's ransomware builder, domain names, Virtual Private Network (VPN) access to 11 breached companies, 37 databases, and more. This article continues to discuss the person behind the Ransomed.vc gang selling the entire operation as well as some theories and concerns regarding this decision.
