The article discusses new revelations on Akira's ransom practices, specifically detailing how their negotiations lack confidentiality. Two cases from New Jersey and Germany illustrate that victims paid large sums, believing their information would remain private, only for it to potentially be exposed due to Akira's insecure communications. This raises significant concerns about the trustworthiness of Akira, as paying a ransom does not guarantee data security or anonymity. Victims and potential targets are warned that engaging with Akira can reveal sensitive information, increasing their vulnerability to other cyber threats.
Akira has not been keeping its negotiations with you secure and confidential.
Paying Akira's ransom demands is no guarantee that others will not obtain your data or find out about your breach.
Even just negotiating with Akira may be sufficient to provide researchers and journalists with data you do not want shared.
If you pay Akira and they actually give you accurate information about how they gained access and elevated privileges, you are now more at risk.
