‘YOU'LL NEVER NEED TO WORK AGAIN': CRIMINALS OFFER REPORTER MONEY TO HACK BBC

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

A BBC reporter was contacted via Signal by a “reach out manager” from the Medusa ransomware gang, who offered 25% of the ransom if they gained access to the reporter's corporate device. The reporter played along to gather more information about the gang's tactics, documenting increased pressure from the ransomware actor. Eventually, the actor grew impatient, sending multiple 2FA requests before the reporter could alert the BBC security team, leading to a disconnection from the network.
