A Ukrainian security researcher has leaked newer malware source code from the Conti ransomware operation in revenge for the cybercriminals siding with Russia on the invasion of Ukraine.
After the Conti Ransomware operation sided with Russia on the invasion of Ukraine, a Ukrainian researcher named 'Conti Leaks' decided to leak data and source code belonging to the ransomware gang out of revenge.
The researcher later leaked old Conti ransomware source code dated September 15th, 2020.
Today, Conti Leaks uploaded the source code for Conti version 3 to VirusTotal and posted a link on Twitter.
More recently, a threat actor leaked the source code for Babuk ransomware on a Russian-speaking hacking forum.
With the continued leaks of the Conti ransomware gang's source code, it is only a matter of time until other threat actors use it to launch their own operations.
