INC Ransomware Clowns Trip Over Their Own Crap – 12 U.S. Orgs Laugh All the Way to Data Recovery
Well, well, well. Another batch of cybercriminal dipshits managed to outsmart themselves. The INC ransomware gang – those self-proclaimed tech geniuses – went and screwed up their operational security so royally that U.S. government nerds swooped in and helped twelve lucky organizations get their data back for free. That’s right: no ransom, no crypto extortion nonsense, just clean recovery. Apparently, these muppets didn’t bother to double-check their encryption setup, leaving the FBI and CISA grinning like toddlers who found the cookie jar unlocked.
Turns out, the ransomware’s coding was about as airtight as a wet paper bag. The Feds grabbed onto this screw-up faster than a sysadmin grabbing coffee on a Monday morning and dropped a decryption tool that made the whole “pay us or lose your data” racket look like amateur hour. INC’s grand plan to cripple U.S. businesses crashed and burned spectacularly – and the best part? They basically handed over their victims’ recovery keys with a bow on top. Jesus wept.
CISA and the FBI are now saying, “Hey, if these morons hit you too, maybe we can undo that mess.” So yeah, looks like the crooks’ OPSEC strategy was written on the back of a cocktail napkin during happy hour. The ransomware crew’s reputation just took a nosedive straight into a dumpster fire. Cue sad violins and angry Telegram rants.
Bottom line: another day, another gang of wannabe cyber overlords faceplanted into their own incompetence. Lovely. Maybe next time they’ll test their damn code before trying to terrorize half the internet.
Reminds me of the time some junior admin tried to wipe the CEO’s inbox “for security” and ended up nuking the entire mail server. Guess who got the call at 3 AM? Yeah, me. So here’s to more idiots failing upwards while we clean up the digital carnage.
