Linden NJ, the FBI confirmed that Darkside ransomware is responsible for the compromise of the Colonial Pipeline networks. In an odd twist DarkSide, the group behind the ransomware attack that took down Colonial Pipeline, has apologized for the consequences of the hack.
The group clarified that its goal was to make money and not to create problems for society. It promises to vet future victims to avoid social consequences. DarkSide also claimed it isn’t associated with a specific nation-state but it tends to avoid targeting systems running in certain Russian and Eastern European languages. Colonial Pipeline aims to restore service by the end of the week.
According to Vice, the group’s apology was posted to its dark web site. It reads:
We are apolitical, we do not participate in geopolitics, do not need to tie us with a defined government and look for other our motives.
Our goal is to make money and not creating problems for society.
From today, we introduce moderation and check each company that our partners want to encrypt to avoid social consequences in the future.
The way these criminals thrive shows how weak and distracted our FBI really is.
Who cares about gas availability, 8mm open jobs, hyperinflation and state funding of Chinese businesses? We got to hunt down Trump sympathizers and ensure correct pronouns are used. Go FBI!
The judge is sure to be moved by their apology.
Apology my ass, this is a wake up call be aware of North Korea, China, Russia, wake up people ,people it’s only going on about for five months now Uncle Joe’s not doing that good. Don’t cry now you people voted for him people you were fooled.
“The group clarified that its goal was to make money and not to create problems for society. It promises to vet future victims to avoid social consequences. “
Translation:
Oops, we went too far on this one, now the entire US gov’t will be after us
… but we will still be attacking Americans in the future.
“DarkSide also claimed it isn’t associated with a specific nation-state but it tends to avoid targeting systems running in certain Russian and Eastern European languages. “
Translation:
We know better than to go after Russian or Russian controlled countries since Russia will kill us first and ask questions later.
Where is Sleepy Joe?
Its no surprise that weak sleepy Joe has our enemies feeling enabled.
Hunt them down and kill them
