Ransomware Group Leaks Data, Company Gets Free Backup Recovery
Description
An X/Twitter post from user 'nc' (with an anime-style profile photo and globe/spider web/cat emojis in the display name) posted 1 day ago. The post uses greentext format: '> Ransomware group encrypts our data / > We don't pay / > Ransomware group leaks our data on their TOR site / > We have our data back / > thanks.jpg'. Below the text is a GIF of a calico cat with a smug, content expression appearing to nod approvingly, with 'THANKS' text and a hugging emoji visible at the bottom. The GIF and ALT badges are shown. This meme humorously reframes a ransomware attack as an accidental disaster recovery service, where the threat actors' punishment (leaking data) inadvertently solves the victim's data loss problem
