cyber-crime<\/p>\n

You don’t infect anyone in Russia or other CIS countries<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Even ransomware cartels make mistakes, and in this case, it was a biggie that could have landed the responsible crim in a Russian gulag: accidentally infecting a company located in a Commonwealth of Independent States country.<\/p>\n

In what threat-hunter Dominic Alvieri deemed the ransom \u201cdumbass of the day,\u201d<\/a> Nova, the affiliate program for ransomware crew RAlord, on Tuesday issued an apology to Eriell Group, a major oilfield services company with headquarters in Uzbekistan and a corporate office in Moscow. <\/p>\n

Apparently, Eriell contacted Nova and notified the ransomware operators about an affiliate’s mess-up.<\/p>\n

The affiliate has since been banned from the criminal operation<\/a>, we\u2019re told. In addition to issuing a \u201cformal apology,\u201d the ransomware gang promised to assist Eriell with the recovery process \u201cfree of charge.\u201d The malware slingers claimed they didn\u2019t encrypt any files, and pledged not to leak any of the stolen data.<\/p>\n

\u201cApparently, the first rule of ransomware club, you don’t attack organizations in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), is still very much in effect in 2026,\u201d Recorded Future threat intelligence analyst Allan Liska told The Register<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

MORE CONTEXT<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While cybercrime is technically illegal in Russia and other CIS countries, their governments often provide safe harbor for extortionists and other financially motivated crims – especially if they also happen to work day jobs as state-sponsored hackers – and local police look the other way unless the gangs infect any in-country organizations.<\/p>\n

Some crews, like the DragonForce cartel<\/a>, VanHelsing ransomware-as-a-service group<\/a>, and notorious LockBit operators<\/a>, expressly prohibit their gang members and affiliates from hitting Russian and other CIS targets.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re guessing that the Nova affiliate will be high up on all of these gangs\u2019 do-not-hire lists for quite a while.<\/p>\n

Still, they aren\u2019t the first cybercriminal, Russian-speaking or otherwise, to make seriously dumb mistakes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

The first rule of ransomware club: You don’t attack organizations in the Commonwealth of Independent States <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Earlier this year, notorious data-leak-and-extortion crew Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters claimed they had gained “full access” to Resecurity’s systems and stolen “everything.” Resecurity later offered its “congratulations” to the cybercrime crew, which had fallen into the threat intel team’s honeypot<\/a> \u2013 resulting in a subpoena being issued for one of the data thieves. <\/p>\n

Pro-Russian hacktivist crew CyberVolk got sloppy<\/a> when they debuted a ransomware service late last year. They hardcoded the master keys – this same key encrypted all files on a victim’s system – into the executable files, thus allowing victims to recover encrypted data without paying any extortion fees.<\/p>\n

While that mess-up worked in the victim orgs\u2019 favor, another coding error committed by Sicarii<\/a> malware developers makes it nearly impossible for companies to recover their files: the Sicarii encryptor generates a new cryptographic key pair during every execution – but then discards the private key, meaning there’s no recoverable master key.<\/p>\n

Similarly, a programming mistake in Nitrogen<\/a> ransomware prevents the gang’s decryptor from recovering victims’ files, again making paying up futile.<\/p>\n

Trellix VP of threat intel strategy <\/em>John Fokker recently told us that he got so sick of seeing the security industry “glorifying threat actors,\u201d that he and his team decided to troll the baddies, and started publishing the Dark Web Roast.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are just individuals, they just use computers, and they just want to steal your data and make money,\u201d Fokker told The Register<\/span>. \u201cThey’re not mythical. They don’t have superpowers.” And just like any other individual – or superhero – they sometimes slip up, and give the rest of us a moment of snarky joy. \u00ae<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
