The ransomware gang known as Hunters International just dropped a bombshell: they’re shutting down. No more cyber shenanigans for them.
Free decryption keys for all!
They’re feeling generous and offering free decryption keys to companies that got tangled up in their ransomware mess. Their goal? To help you recover your encrypted data without coughing up ransom money. Just swing by their site to grab those keys and unlock your files.
At this point, their website is as empty as a ghost town.
A history of mischief
Hunters International has been causing chaos for a couple of years, hitting up big names like a U.S. cancer center and the U.S. Marshals Service. But hey, the law enforcement folks deny ever being hacked by this cyber bandit crew.
What’s next?
It’s still a mystery why Hunters International decided to pull the plug. Some sleuths suspect they’re gearing up for a comeback under a new name: World Leaks. New name, new game, same old hackers? Possibly.
According to the cyber intel analyst Allan Liska, sticking to the same tech setup for too long can leave you vulnerable to the long arm of the law. Smart move to hit the brakes before the cops come knocking, right?
So, there you have it. Another day, another ransomware gang calling it quits. Time for them to ride off into the digital sunset.
