A comment spammer flooded Babuk’s new ransomware forum with gay orgy porn GIFs and demanded $5K in bitcoin.
The Babuk ransomware gang’s new rebrand isn’t going so well. It seems the cybercriminal group has been a victim of a ransomware attack of its own.
Babuk’s latest endeavor, a Dark Web ransomware forum called RAMP, was crippled by a spammer over the weekend who overloaded the site with same-sex pornographic GIFs, according to Recorded Future.
The attacker told Babuk they wanted $5,000. Babuk told them to pound sand, refused to pay and deleted the original post. But even after wiping the forum several times, Recorded Future said the attacker was still able to bombard the forum with pornographic GIFs.
