The BlackCat ransomware group says it has 80GB of internal Reddit data.

Has the hacker group given any proof that they actually have anything? All of the articles I’ve read only say the hackers have claimed to have 80GB of data.

I’ve been trying to find this out as well. I haven’t found anything that even claims they’ve shown Reddit any legitimate data. Seems like a “trust me bro, we have what we say we have” situation

Or they left something on reddits servers so reddit will know.

Also possible, yeah.

Looks like Reddit has confirmed it: https://lemmy.ml/post/1403831
