Ransom Busters Claims It Hacked Ransomware Servers, Asks Victims for Up to $60,000
A new threat actor, operating under the name "Ransom Busters," is contacting ransomware victims directly, claiming to have infiltrated ransomware groups' servers and offering to delete stolen data for a fee between $20,000 and $60,000. Security researchers believe this is likely a ransomware affiliate attempting to extort victims further, rather than a legitimate recovery service, and warn that payments offer no guarantee of data deletion.
