ThunderX has changed its name to Ranzy Locker and launched a data leak site where they shame victims who do not pay the ransom.
The ransomware operators quickly fixed their bugs and released a new version of the ransomware under Ranzy Locker name.
This week, the Ranzy Locker gang released a data leak site called 'Ranzy Leak' to leak the data of victims who do not pay.
An item of interest is that the Tor onion URL used by the Ranzy Leak site is the same as the one previously used by Ako Ransomware.
Update 10/16/20: The Ako ransomware operators contacted us and stated ThunderX is part of their operation and that they have rebranded to Ranzy Locker.
