There's a video [1] from the "hacker" sending the message. The hacker allegedly [2] stole the VPN credentials (of an employee and two colleagues, because they were doing credentials sharing apparently) from a personal computer ("RGB gaming PC") running Windows 7 (EOL), w/o antivirus and reportedly having search for Windows activators for Windows 10 and Office 2019. Cherry on top: the malware seems to have dropped via a malicious game install. Lol

Ironically he recorded the video with CapCut, showing his ID, which also revealed their profile picture and identity [2]...

If all of this is true, we're lucky they "only" paged the whole country instead of doing something even more harmful. This is some crazy level of incompetence / lack of security.

It also looks like they've used leaked old credentials that weren't updated in years: https://x.com/i/status/2068635848786972863
