When a hacker called the company that his gang claimed to breach, he felt the same way that most of us feel when calling the front desk: frustrated.
The phone call between the hacker, who claims to represent the ransomware gang DragonForce, and the victim company employee was posted by the ransomware gang on its dark web site in an apparent attempt to put pressure on the company to pay a ransom demand. In reality, the call recording just shows a somewhat hilarious and failed attempt to extort and intimidate a company’s rank-and-file employees.
A previously unknown ransomware gang has been attacking Russian businesses with malware based on the leaked source code from the Conti hacking group.
The gang, which researchers at the Moscow-based cybersecurity company F.A.C.C.T. have dubbed “Muliaka," or Muddy Water in English, has left minimal traces from its attacks but has likely been active since at least December 2023.

Overview This week, the Sonicwall Capture Labs threat research team analyzed a ransomware calling itself Lighter Ransomware. Upon execution, it opens up a window with a countdown timer instructing the victim to reach out immediately […]
The reports keep coming in from across the country on how the Change Healthcare ransomware attack that first came to light on Feb. 21 has been impacting the healthcare sector.
The case has been called the most severe cyberattack on the healthcare sector in history and has had a great impact since Change Healthcare, owned by UnitedHealth Group, processes 15 billion healthcare transactions annually, affecting 1 in 3 patient records.
In late 2023 and early 2024, the ransomware ecosystem experienced repeated disruption of its most prolific Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) groups at the hands of international Law Enforcement (LE). Alphv’s dark web data leak site was seized, then unseized, then re-seized in a December 2023 law enforcement operation that seemingly failed to deter the group – until AlphV ultimately claimed to disband via an apparent exit scam, immediately following a high-profile attack against Change Healthcare in March 2024. LockBit experienced a far more dramatic and well-marketed disruption, “Operation Cronos,” in February 2024, leading to the compromise of its infrastructure, internal operational details, and data. While LockBit has ostensibly continued operations, its highly publicized disruption raises the question of whether the group will be able to continue operating and attracting affiliates at the level they once enjoyed.
