DragonForce Ransomware: Yet Another Cyber Dumpster Fire

So apparently, the cybercrime circus has a new act called DragonForce Ransomware — an absolute clusterfuck cooked up by some of the same digital delinquents from that charming crew, Scattered Spider. Because apparently stealing data, wrecking networks, and holding companies hostage for Bitcoin is the new Tuesday hobby for these little script kiddies on steroids.

According to the article, DragonForce is basically a mash-up of different hacker groups that decided, “Hey, let’s fuck around and ruin the internet even more.” They’ve cobbled together various tools, encryption junk, and blackmail tactics into one irritating ransomware-as-a-service operation. It’s like someone asked, “What if incompetence was monetized?” and the internet said, “Hold my beer.”

These digital parasites don’t even stop there — they love a bit of noisy PR. They leak data on “dark web blogs,” brag about their hacks, and play tough guy on Telegram, proving beyond doubt that ego and stupidity scale infinitely online. The article also connects them to other “famous assholes” like Scattered Spider, who specialize in phishing their way into corporate networks and then demanding ransom like it’s Shark Tank for sociopaths.

Oh, and let’s not forget — they’re targeting big-name companies, stealing passwords, and wrecking entire infrastructures while the IT departments sob into their coffee. The only thing more tragic than the damage is that half of these attacks could have been stopped with, you know, common bloody sense. But no, let’s keep reusing passwords and “temporarily disabling MFA for convenience.” Fucking brilliant, lads.

Long story short: DragonForce is just another shiny new brand name for cyber extortion clowns who think they’re edgy because they can run ransomware scripts written by someone smarter than them. Same old shit, different logo. Patch your systems, don’t click stupid links, and maybe stop giving remote desktop access to everyone with a pulse.

Here’s the original article for when you want to feel your blood pressure spike from human stupidity:

Reminds me of the time a manager asked why their laptop “was acting weird” after downloading a “free Adobe update” from a site that looked like it was made with MS Paint and Russian malware. I told them to call the ransomware operator directly next time — maybe they can fix it for a small fee.
