This is the true story of how a single mistake by the DarkSide ransomware gang led to the hack of the Colonial Pipeline, triggering a national crisis. Join us as we dive deep into the world of ransomware-as-a-service, from its origins with the AIDS Trojan to the multi-million dollar operations of modern cybercrime cartels.
Discover how ethical hackers accidentally found a universal decryption key for DarkSide, and how that discovery set off a chain of events culminating in one of the most disruptive cyberattacks in US history. We'll break down the five phases of a ransomware attack: initial access, reconnaissance, exfiltration, deployment, and extortion, using the Colonial Pipeline breach as a detailed case study.
Learn how initial access brokers exploit reused passwords and VPN vulnerabilities to infiltrate corporate networks. See how gangs like DarkSide operate with the professionalism of a Fortune 500 company, complete with PR statements, customer support, and a code of conduct.
This video also covers the aftermath: the FBI's race to recover the $5 million Bitcoin ransom, the government's emergency response, and the ongoing debate about cybersecurity regulations for critical infrastructure. We explore why ransomware is a national security threat and what the future holds as attacks are predicted to occur every 2 seconds by 2031.
