Conti ransomware group previously put out a message siding with the Russian government.

To give one example of an incident of interest, last year the WizardSpider criminal crew used the Conti ransomware to lock up the whole of Ireland's state-run health service, causing months of disruption and millions in damage - not to say health impacts on Irish citizens - after a phishing email hit its mark.

A different ransomware gang appears to have paid full attention to the Conti leaks and declared themselves "Apolitical", or uninterested in publicly backing the Russian government.

In other Conti news, today Sophos published research identifying how a Canadian healthcare organisation was targeted by two ransomware gangs at the same time.
