Ransomware gangs are teaming up to extort victims through a shared data leak platform, and the exchange of tactics and intelligence.
In November 2019, the Maze Ransomware operators transformed ransomware attacks into data breaches after they released unencrypted data of a victim who refused to pay.
Soon after, they launched a dedicated “Maze News” site used to shame their unpaid victims by publicly releasing stolen data.
