The team behind Exploit, a major cybercrime forum used by RaaS gangs, has announced that ransomware ads are now banned and will be removed. The move follows the announcement made by the XSS Russian-speaking hacking forum yesterday about ransomware topics being permanently banned. Ransomware gangs have already expressed their disapproval after XSS posted their decision to ban them from the forums. This is a direct result of them landing in the crosshairs of law enforcement after DarkSide’s attack on Colonial Pipeline, which disrupted the US fuel pipeline’s operation.
