Hacker ransomware groups announce retirement to enjoy their "golden parachutes" — no further attacks planned, future attributed activities will relate to undisclosed past breaches

Multiple ransomware groups, including the one behind the Jaguar Land Rover attack, have announced their retirement on BreachForums, citing fulfilled objectives and accumulated wealth. These groups, known for exploiting social engineering and authentication weaknesses, have decided to cease hacking activities, with future attributed actions related to undisclosed past breaches. While some members plan to continue improving systems, others will enjoy their amassed wealth. The post mentions IntelBroker, potentially referring to arrested hacker Kai Logan West, and suggests that incarcerated members may have been used as scapegoats. The veracity of these claims remains to be seen, but a reduction in ransomware activity in the future could validate their statements.
