The relationship of the Conti virus, which has been a headache for millions of Windows users in the past years, with the Russian Government has emerged. The Conti virus, which encrypts the files on your computer with a method and asks for money to get your files back, is in cooperation with Putin, according to the leaked documents.
Ukrainian hackers disclosed the support of the Conti virus to Russia
Documents leaked from the Ukrainian hacker group Conti reveal that the team behind the virus is in contact with the Russian Government. It was reported as a result of leaked documents that Conti was in constant communication with hackers working for the Russian Government.
Ukrainian anonymous hackers also exposed the source codes of Conti. The Conti virus, which emerged in 2020 and affects all versions of Windows, has so far demanded ransom from thousands of people. Although we haven’t talked much about the effect of Conti in our country, we can say that its operation is similar to Wanna Cry.
If your computer is infected with Conti and you do not pay the ransom, all of your valuable files will be trashed. Leaking the code of the virus may contribute to the development of software that removes the virus in the coming weeks.
The cyber side of the war between Russia and Ukraine is serious enough to affect the outcome of the war. Things change when the files Conti obtained support Russian Intelligence. The infection of the virus, which has spread seriously all over the world, to famous people can also create doomsday scenarios.
