What a dirtbag!!!!

CEO tried funding his startup by asking insiders to deploy ransomware

Likely inspired by the LockBit ransomware gang, a Nigerian threat actor tried their luck with a $1 million payment lure to recruit an insider to detonate a ransomware payload on the company servers.

I read a different story but with the same purpose. Deploying ransomware and getting paid.

It’s hard to believe a CEO would think it’s okay to fund a startup by asking people to use ransomware. That’s illegal and puts everyone in danger. Companies need to stick to honest ways to grow instead of resorting to harmful tactics.
