A week after Ukrainian law enforcement arrested six suspects linked to the popular ransomware group cIOp, the group released a new batch of stolen data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The data included employee records such as employment verification for loan applications and documents from workers whose wages were garnished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While this move by the ransomware group suggests that the arrested suspects do not include core leaders of the organization, but affiliated companies or others who play a lesser role, it also confirms the limit of ransomware attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These include the group that maintains the ransomware group and the infrastructure on which it runs, and also the second unit that is a team of hackers who rents out the Ransomware and shares the revenue with the maintainers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fact that these two entities know little or nothing about each other shows that the arrest of one group will not hinder the work of the other.<\/p>\n\n\n
