The Gentlemen ransomware gang has had a rough month, with its backend infrastructure hacked and leaked, and its leader doxxed.

If you're a threat actor and are going to make a mistake when you email your ransom note to your victim, please note:

Sending the journalist 10 copies of the email is..... well, reportable? 🤣
