It was a Ukrainian security specialist who apparently turned the tables on the notorious Russia-based Conti, and leaked the ransomware gang's source code, chat logs, and tons of other sensitive data about the gang's operations, tools, and costs.

The security vendor provided a detailed Conti org chart that shows Stern, "The big boss," at the top with henchmen responsible for HR and recruitment, blogging and negotiating, training, and blockchain wrangling, plus teams underneath.

"The Conti group has an HR/Recruiter that assists with the continual finding and recruitment of new candidates."

CyberArk posted its own analysis of the Conti leaks, and says the information can help organizations protect themselves.

One of the data dumps included 12 git repositories of what's said to be internal Conti software.

"Upon quick inspection of these repositories, most of the code appears to be open-source software that is used by the Conti group," the analysis said.
