Trellix VP John Fokker launched the Dark Web Roast — deliberately mocking ransomware gangs instead of treating them like mythical entities. These are just individuals, they just use computers... they are not mythical. They dont have superpowers. The blog roasts gangs for things like bulk-scheduling extortion attempts like a content calendar. Former CISA boss Easterly has been calling for this: stop giving threat actors cool names. Wizard Spider and Velvet Tempest sound like bands, not criminals. About time someone treated ransomware gangs like the criminals they are instead of the supervillains they want to be.
