Audio Version – Ransomware Diaries: Volume 4

by Jon DiMaggio - Chief Security Strategist

Voice by Jon DiMaggio.

In this volume of our investigative series, ‘The Ransomware Diaries’, I explore RansomedVC, a cybercrime group that has redefined the boundaries. RansomedVC has earned a reputation among the criminal underworld for combining propaganda, influence campaigns, and misinformation. Despite the facade of infamy, questions remain regarding the legitimacy of their operations and the veracity of their claims beneath this facade of infamy.

I’ve uncovered unprecedented insights into RansomedVC’s intricate web in this audio journey, which includes direct conversations with its elusive leader and insightful discussions with the hackers who make up the gang. In order to dissect their past and present criminal activities, we used sophisticated human behavior profiling techniques. As a result, a story of theft, deceit, and high stakes is revealed.
