A Ukrainian security researcher has leaked over 60,000 internal messages belonging to the Conti ransomware operation. The messages were taken from a log server for the Jabber communication system used by the gang. The data was leaked by a researcher who had access to the “ejabberd database” backend for Conti’s XMPP chat server. The full dataset is available to download from the Ransomwhere site. The leak of these messages is a severe blow to the ransomware operation, providing sensitive intelligence to researchers and law enforcement about their internal processes.”]
