> Ransomware operator claims attack on Crypto24, a cryptocurrency exchange platform.

A ransomware operator has posted a victim claim on a public ransomware tracking platform for an entity identified as Crypto24, which appears to be a cryptocurrency exchange or related service. The article itself provides minimal technical detail beyond the victim listing; it serves primarily as a public notification of a claimed attack. The posting includes a legal disclaimer clarifying that ransomware.live indexes only publicly visible information from ransomware operators and open sources without accessing stolen data. The connection to infostealer infections referenced in the sponsorship note suggests the attack may have originated through credential compromise from malware infections, a common attack chain where infostealers precede ransomware deployment.
