Grief Ransomware Holds NRA Files Hostage After Alleged Cyberattack
A recent ransomware attack from a ransomware group known as “Grief” (with alleged ties to well known Russian cybercrime group Evil Corp), has stated that they hold 13 key files belonging to theNational Rifle Association that they intend to hold hostage or leak unless the NRA pays the ransom which is of an undisclosed value. At the time of writing, the NRA has declined to make any definitive statements confirming whether or not Grief had actually breached NRA cybersecurity and if the nonprofit 2nd amendment organization plans on paying any ransom.

Grief: We will destroy your organization's reputation unless you pay us millions

DeleteBack when there were real pirates, sailing wooden ships on the high seas, attacks against any ship flying the American flag, whether a govt ship or private enteprise, was considered an act of war by the country giving refuge and safe harbor to the pirates. Seems like the same approach here would be beneficial.
ReplyDeleteScrew them. Send them my address and have them come see me.
ReplyDelete...and what? We're supposed to have sympathy for the NRA when LaPierre and his cronies have been stealing millions from the membership for decades? Screw them.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if LaPierre and his cronies had been honest, they'd have been able to afford better cybersecurity.

Could be a False Flag by Wayne LaPierre and his buddies to get one more payoff for themselves before they walk away for good ...
ReplyDeleteI hope that one of the files they are holding hostage is the one with my phone number.
