More than a year's worth of internal communications from one of the world's most active ransomware syndicates have been published online.

The leaker's identity is unknown; it's unclear if the leaker was an insider or someone outside the group gained access to the logs.

Black Basta has targeted 12 of the 16 US critical infrastructure sectors in attacks mounted on 500 organizations.
