A ransomware negotiator—a professional hired by victims to communicate with attackers—was found to be secretly working for a ransomware gang, creating a severe conflict of interest and insider threat. The negotiator's dual role allowed the gang to obtain sensitive victim intelligence and negotiate from an unfair advantage. This represents a significant breach of trust in the victim support ecosystem.
