There appears to be some confusion about this post and how groups such as Lockbit operate.

Lockbit offers a "service" of ransomware. He gives you a pretty panel, some tools for making ransomware (his), a chatroom to harass victims and bully them, etc.

In exchange for him providing this service he takes a cut of any money you receive from ransoming companies.

Lockbit ransomware group did ransom hospitals. However, it was not "Lockbit" the "service" provider. Rather, it was someone who used his service.

The people who use this service are called "affiliates".

At Lockbits peak they had over 100 affiliates. Some affiliates did ransom hospitals. This particular affiliate who messaged me, who is FBI Most Wanted, believed it was unethical to ransom healthcare because it could potentially endanger someone's life. Although, he was still a criminal and harassed, bullied, and extorted companies of all sizes including public schools. One time he ransomed a car wash. He didn't care.

Anyway

Lockbit themselves (the "service" provider) allowed affiliates to ransom hospitals because ... they didn't really care. Lockbit (the service provider) approved of schools, churches, non profits, hospitals, doctors, government agencies, etc. to all be victims of ransomware. He didn't really have exclude anything. Nothing was off limits.

Lockbit (the service provider) made an estimated $1,000,000,000 from their crimes as providing this service and facilitating ransomware all across the planet.

One administrator resides in Russia. The other (ex administrator) was located in Israel. However, he was arrested and deported to the United States some time ago when the FBI found him.

Yesterday someone was being very silly and defaced Nintendo's topics page. Nintendo has restored the deface.

No data was stolen.

I immediately thought I'd be a com kid just being a menace to society. Dude is too old for this shit. He's gonna be released when he's 95

Hello,

Someone in the com supposedly has a really cool and badass piece of malware I'm really interested in. I've been trying to find the nerd who has it for like, 2 days, and I've messaged every com person I know (like 5 people)

I really really want to see this Terraria malware payload.

My questions have been answered.

Thank you all. I love you so much. You all have earned one (1) cat picture.

Media outlets today announced the apprehension of a 17 year old individual residing in the United States believed to be tied to the infamous Scattered Spider.

Historically, Owen Flowers, Thalha Jubair, and Noah Urban were identified as key members.

who tf is this guy???

My best guess at this point is that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is now low-key sniping off any person who even orbited the main players

Tldr even associates getting cooked

There's so much shit with malware TTPs, malware development, reverse engineering, shit on financially motivated malware nerds, state sponsored malware nerds, malware nerds being arrested

I just can't keep up anymore bro I'm just focusing on cat pictures fuck it

Ok whatever I'll get back to work on the shitty malware website I work on, you convinced me

Sorry for spam.

I received a message from a person named "Riverbank". He was upset that I failed to supply a photo of a kitty cat. He stated what I delivered was a video and/or gif. I apologize for the confusion. As promised I will deliver one (1) cat picture.

Thank you for understanding.
