Everest Ransomware Gets a Taste of Its Own Medicine: Hacked and Offline!
The Everest ransomware gang’s Tor site was hilariously defaced, replaced with “Don’t do crime, crime is bad xoxo from Prague.” Now, it’s offline, leaving everyone guessing if it’s an exit scam or just a prank. Meanwhile, Everest has been busy targeting healthcare since 2021. Crime doesn’t pay, but it sure does entertain!
Hot Take:
