In an unexpected turn of events, a ransomware operator has found itself on the receiving end of a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, all because they tried to leak stolen data.
According to a BleepingComputer report, the LockBit group breached the servers of Entrust, an identity, payment, and data protection service provider, late last month.
The group deployed ransomware to Entrust’s servers, demanded an $8 million payout and stole files including legal documents, marketing spreadsheets, and accounting data.
