Conti Ransomware Gang Sees Thousands of Internal Chats Leaked After Posting Pro-Russia Message

One of the members of the Conti gang is attacking them. The gang's leaders took an aggressive pro-Russian stance on their public site, and that's why an insider leaked a huge cache of internal chats.

The statement promised to use all possible resources to strike back at an enemy that launched a cyberattack or war activities against Russia. That was enough to cause one of the members to leak tens of thousands of internal chats from the group.

The group that shared the leak with them was called VX-Underground. There are over 300 files written in the native Russian of the group. Links to file sharing sites, hacking how-to's, and various other goodies that might harm your device are included in the messages.

Gizmodo hasn't had the chance to look through the whole thing, but the outlet recorded everything from the addresses where the members of the group received payments to the messages about the negotiations with the victims. The group raked in over $25 million in payouts from more than 100 victims and has targeted companies like Shutterfly as well as law enforcement and healthcare systems around the world.
