An anonymous hacker, known as GangExposed, has leaked sensitive information about top ransomware groups such as Conti, revealing real names and profile pictures of members.
GangExposed, an independent investigator with no professional IT training, claims to have obtained data from darknet sites and state records with dishonest insiders.
The hacker exposed the real identity of Vitaly Nikolaevich Kovalev, the leader of Conti ransomware group, linking him to other cybercrime organizations like Royal and Trickbot.
GangExposed's detailed investigation uncovered Kovalev's role as the mastermind behind various ransomware gangs, coordination of attacks, money laundering networks, and technical infrastructure.
