Federal investigators suspect that a ransom negotiator — someone hired by victims to deal with ransomware gangs — was secretly running an extortion operation tied to the ShinyHunters group. The report by security journalist Brian Krebs has drawn attention in the cybersecurity community, with commentators highlighting the irony of the so-called 'butler' allegedly being the culprit.
