Hacker Calls Front Desk for Ransom, Gets HR’s Hold Music Instead: The Comic Side of Cyber Extortion
Caught on tape: a hacker’s cringeworthy call to HR makes “negotiating” with ransomware gang DragonForce sound like a failed customer service complaint—Beth from HR remains unshaken. #RansomwareNegotiationGoneWrong
Hot Take:
Imagine calling a customer service line only to realize you're the one getting the runaround. That's what happened to this wannabe digital Don Corleone, trying to make a company an offer they could easily refuse. Note to ransomware gangs: If your intimidation tactics include getting stuck on hold and bickering with HR, you might need to rethink your strategy. Also, Beth from HR deserves a medal, or at least an extra coffee break.
