The leak site used by the Everest ransomware gang was hacked and defaced over the weekend, according to TechCrunch. The site, which publishes stolen files to extort victims, displayed a message sarcastically condemning crime. It remains unclear if the gang suffered a data breach due to the hack. Everest, known for significant data breaches since 2020, has been linked to various high-profile hacks, including those affecting NASA. While ransomware attacks are increasing, payments to hackers have declined as businesses resist hefty ransoms.
