VanHelsing Ransomware Drama: Source Code Leaked by Betrayed Developers!
VanHelsing ransomware’s source code was leaked after an ex-developer tried selling it on a cybercrime forum. The operators released it themselves, revealing an incomplete version missing the Linux builder. This leak is the latest in a string of ransomware source code leaks, including Babuk, Conti, and LockBit, fueling new cyber threats.

Hot Take:
Looks like VanHelsing’s developers are having a little family feud! One old developer tried to profit from the source code by putting it up for sale like it’s a rare Pokémon card, but the current gang members decided to leak it themselves. It’s the ransomware world’s equivalent of airing your dirty laundry in public, and now everyone’s got front-row seats to the drama! Grab your popcorn, folks!
