Ransonware Gang Steals U.S. Intel
Just saw this and we may have to wait to see what this is about.
Notorious ransomware gang claims it pulled ‘classified and top secret documents’ from U.S. intelligence agencies
The group said 'the data will either be sold or made public.'
Quote:The notorious ransomware gang Blackcat, more commonly known as ALPHV, is threatening to release classified and top secret documents from numerous U.S. intelligence agencies, including the FBI, after allegedly breaching a technology company.
In a post to the dark web on Tuesday, ALPHV claimed that it had successfully pilfered 300GB of data from the Technica Corporation, a company which, according to its website, “supports the Federal Government and their mission to support, to defend and protect America’s citizens.”
“Leaks of classified and top secret documents,” the group wrote on its blog. “Documents related to the FBI and other US intelligence agencies. If Technica does not contact us soon, the data will either be sold or made public.
Quote:Just last month, the FBI and numerous intelligence agencies from across the globe successfully brought down ALPHV’s dark web homepage. ALPHV responded shortly after by relaunching its site elsewhere on the dark web.

I read that in order to keep the data from being released, someone from the FBI needs to go to Wal-Mart and buy an Apple gift card, and call them back and read off the numbers. I forgot the amount they requested…

I've never been to the dark web, or the deep web, or the deep dark web. I wouldn't know how to get there or what to do once I was there. I've heard it's a terrible place.

So, you haven’t yet checked out the dark, deep web?!?
Helluva place, cheap cold beers, 2 dollar rails and a free lap dance once you spend 40 bucks!
Kinda like the bar scene in Star Wars.
Heard that from a friend…
