The group, identified as the Sodinokibi REvil ransomware gang, also said it was not afraid of being labeled a cyber-terrorist group.
The validity of the REvil source cannot be independently confirmed by Threatpost, however the REvil ransomware gang has used the Russian OSINT channel several times to discuss criminal activities such as future targets, alliances and revenue.
According to the REvil source, the gang was trying to stay away from the U.S. and U.S.-based firms.
REvil is known for both audacious attacks on the world's biggest organizations and astronomical ransoms.
The gang member said current U.S. legislation, if passed, that would restrict ransomware victims from paying a ransom, would not be a deterrent for future attacks.
In the interview the anonymous REvil gang member said that in light of U.S. actions and posturing to retaliate for the JBS Foods attack, the group will now lift the restriction on attacking U.S. targets.
