Someone hacked ransomware gang Everest’s leak site


"Don't do crime," the ransomware gang's dark web leak site reads.

A leak site used by the Everest ransomware gang was hacked and defaced this weekend, TechCrunch has learned. The leak site, which the ransomware gang uses to publish stolen files to extort its victims into paying a ransom demand, was replaced with a brief text note: “Don’t do crime CRIME IS BAD xoxo from Prague.” It’s not clear if the gang also experienced a data breach as a result of the hack.
