More Conti Ransomware Source Code Leaks Online As Ukraine-Russia Invasion Progresses
Summary
Now the person managing the Twitter account called ContiLeaks has published more leaks, including source code of more recent versions of the groups ransomware. Conti is a circle of Russian-speaking cybercriminals that has scored a number of successful ransomware attacks over the last couple of years, with estimated payouts in the millions of dollars. The internal Conti member chat logs that were previously leaked were too extensive to be analyzed quickly, but security researchers have been picking those apart gradually. Further analysis sheds light on the internal structure of the ransomware gang and shows that they operate similar to a regular business, with different departments responsible for different tasks. A curious quirk discovered by Check Point researchers who are analyzing the chat logs is that a number of people who ended up working for Conti were actually hired normally, never realizing they are being recruited by criminals.
