What a Ransomware Gang's Leaked Group Chat Reveals About Insider Threats | 2 Minute Drill with Drex

from The 229 Podcast

In 2022, a furious insider leaked more than 300,000 internal messages from Conti, one of the most notorious ransomware gangs on the planet, and it read like the group chat from hell.Buried in the gossip and office politics was a message that stopped Drex cold, a gang member pushing to attack hundreds of American hospitals and laughing about who might die. But not everyone inside Conti agreed with him.What happened next in Ireland shows just how thin the line is between catastrophe and survival, and why you can never build a security program on the hope that the person attacking you has a conscience.Remember, stay a little paranoid.Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/229pDonate: Alex’s Lemonade Stand: Foundation for Childhood Cancer - https://www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/3173454
