DragonForce Ransomware, responsible for attacking Marks & Spencer, urges cybercriminals to avoid targeting businesses in Russia and the former Soviet Union.
Speculations arise about DragonForce's ties to Russia or possible funding from the post-Soviet region, leading them to show loyalty to these territories.
DragonForce emphasizes its policy of solely extorting money and not deleting valuable business data, aiming to preserve technology use in certain regions.
The group has targeted 90 companies across sectors, issuing warnings to rival groups like Scattered Spider not to attack networks in Russia, setting new boundaries in cybercrime operations.
