Hot Take:

Qilin Ransomware’s recent escapade against the Church of Scientology has all the elements of a blockbuster heist movie, minus the dashing lead actor. Instead of a suave gentleman breaking into a vault, we’ve got screenshots and spreadsheets flung onto the dark web like confetti at a hacker’s wedding. Move over, James Bond; there’s a new villain in town, and it’s got a penchant for spreadsheets and visa applications!

Key Points:

  • Qilin Ransomware claims responsibility for breaching the Church of Scientology.
  • Leaked screenshots display internal documents from the Church’s UK hub.
  • Exposed data includes visa applications, financial plans, and security budgets.
  • Qilin operates under a ransomware-as-a-service model, focusing on double extortion.
  • The breach is unverified, with only screenshots as evidence currently available.
