“Back in June 2020, while gathering intelligence on a popular hacker forum, we stumbled upon a peculiar recruitment ad seemingly posted by a ransomware group. To glean valuable insights into the ransomware operators’ perspective, we decided to pose as a Russian cybercriminal and answered the ad in question.

To our surprise, we were invited to a private qTox chat room for a ‘job interview’ with people who claimed to be associated with an infamous ransomware group. There, we met the threat actors who were allegedly responsible for running a ransomware affiliate operation for more than 10 years.

What follows is the story of how we answered the partnership posting and what we found during our interview with an affiliate group of the REvil and Ragnar Locker ransomware cartels.”
