thewayneIt was a good week for cybersecurity people!
The first outfit was known as Trigona and was famous for ransom and reveal: pay up or your data is going to be published. They were infiltrated by a group that claims allegiance with Ukrainian. Over the course of several days, they copied all of the data from ten servers then trashed them and defaced their public web server. AND their infrastructure was hidden behind Onion networking! Some very good work done by the attackers. They say all the information is going to be handed over to the appropriate authorities.
The second outfit, Ragnar Locker, was taken down by Interpol and other authorities, raids were conducted in Spain, Czechia, and Latvia. Ragnar is a Ransomware As A Service operation, renting their software to other operations who attack companies then split proceeds with Ragnar. Arrests were made, servers were taken down.
