Europol says law enforcement has seized servers and a leak site belonging to the KillSec ransomware group, which is suspected of being led by a teenager. The operation targets the infrastructure used by the gang to extort victims. Commenters are highlighting how young the suspected ringleader is, and the case adds to a pattern of teenage cybercriminals running ransomware operations.

The Emperador ransomware group has added OMUR HIRDAVAT LTD to its leak blog, claiming the Turkish company as a new victim. The targeted firm's sector has not been confirmed. Cybersecurity researchers tracking ransomware activity flagged the listing, continuing routine monitoring of newly claimed victims across extortion sites.
