Warlock Wall of Shame and Ransom Note

WarLock’s latest leak site updates show the group isn’t just targeting telecoms. Alongside Orange Belgium and Colt Technology Services, the victim list spans construction, manufacturing, healthcare, professional services, and even consumer goods giants like Unilever. The spread highlights a strategy aimed at maximum disruption across critical and well-known sectors, using stolen data not only to extort but also to amplify public pressure through its “wall of shame.”

I came across one of their ransom notes. This is pure customer service … class !

"Our team is available 24/7 to provide professional and courteous assistance throughout the payment and recovery process.

We don't need a lot of money, it's very easy for you, you can earn money even if you lose it, but your data, reputation, and public image are irreversible, so contact us as soon as possible and prepare to pay is the first priority."

"Please contact us as soon as possible to avoid further consequences."

Good cop act

Ah yes, nothing screams menacing cyber gang quite like ending your ransom note with the warmth of a call centre script. ‘Professional and courteous assistance’? Mate, are you hackers or the customer service team at TalkTalk? Am I about to lose my data or just be told to turn the router off and on again?

You’re out here pretending to be ruthless criminals, but you sound like a dodgy utility company chasing an overdue bill. If you’re gonna threaten people’s reputation and livelihood, at least do it with some menace, not like you’re cold-calling about double glazing, seriously.
