This is the best summary I could come up with:
The servers of Trigona ransomware gang has been infiltrated and wiped out.” An outfit calling itself Ukrainian Cyber Alliance took credit and included the tagline: “disrupting Russian criminal enterprises (both public and private) since 2014.”
A separate social media post dumped what the press secretary said was an administrative panel key and said the group wiped out Trigona’s “landing, blog, leaks site, internal server (rocketchat, atlassian), wallets and dev servers.” The person also claimed that the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance hacked a Confluence server Trigona used.
At the end of the action week, the main perpetrator, suspected of being a developer of the Ragnar group, has been brought in front of the examining magistrates of the Paris Judicial Court.
Ragnar Locker emerged in 2019 and quickly became known for its success in hacking organizations in various sectors, including health care, government, technology, finance, education, and media.
It’s what’s known as a RAAS (ransomware as a service), in which core members develop the encryption software, run a central server, and then work with affiliates.
In fact, Europol members, along with the FBI and Ukrainian authorities, had been investigating the group since 2021 and steadily made progress, culminating in this week’s arrest and takedown.
