July 18th, 2024 Columbus, Ohio was a victim of Rhysida ransomware group — a group believed to be related to the now 'forked' and defunct Conti ransomware group.

August 8th, 2024 Rhysida ransomware group began slowly releasing the 6TB of exfiltrated Columbus, Ohio government data onto their Tor domain. As time progressed, it was evident the city of Columbus, Ohio were unlikely to pay the $1,600,000 Rhysida ransomware group wanted.

Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther stated to local media outlets that Rhysida has unsuccessfully exfiltrated data and they successfully stopped the attack. Subsequently, a cybersecurity researcher operating under the moniker 'Connor Goodwolf', refuted the mayors statements — essentially acting as a whistleblower.

Connor Goodwolf spoke with Columbus, Ohio media outlets regarding the Rhysida ransomware group attack, proving Rhysida has not only successfully compromised the local government, but also exfiltrated sensitive information on residents of Columbus, Ohio. This information included social security numbers of police officers, people who are victims of domestic violence, etc.

Mayor Andrew Ginther decided to have the City of Columbus, Ohio sue Connor Goodwolf. Additionally, the city is seeking a restraining order against Goodwolf, making it a crime to disclose more information on the Rhysida breach, and requesting a permanent injunction against Connor Goodwolf. The lawsuit against Connor Goodwolf states Mr. Goodwolf places the community in danger stating he is spreading stolen data which is illegal. The lawsuit continues to say 'nobody' had access to the exfiltrated Rhysida ransomware group data because it was published in a manner where access was difficult to achieve.

tl;dr columbis ohio city attorney Zach Klein and mayor Andrew Ginther are idiots, so stupid its embarassing and painful to even read about

I heard about this but I didn't realize it was so deftly retarded on the Mayor's part. Thanks Smelly, I read the warning and disregarded it; now I'm mad

Need a girl like this

ARMED AND READY

A few finishing touches and everything should be done. Gotta do launch options and some misc clean up

Currently doing multithreading and the perfectionist in me wants to implement Dijkstra's bounded buffer solution for dealing with the parallel scanning and encryption of files (currently just scans then encrypts instead of doing both concurrently), however it is early in the morning and I don't care enough to right now so maybe later

Is it weird that I want it to get worse? That I feel better with things are objectively horrible instead of neutral, or even good? I do my best when I'm most fucked up

I need to be passively suicidal to peak
