BREAKING NEWS

Russia’s most aggressive ransomware group, blamed for multiple attacks on the U.S., suddenly went offline. Who made that happen is a mystery.

Just days after President Biden called President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and demanded that he act to shut down ransomware groups that are attacking American targets, the biggest of them has gone offline.

There are two schools of thought about how to raise funds for an internet service:

1. Fuck You Pay Me.
2. Passive aggressive guilt, e.g., like & subscribe, begging, and buy this mattress.

Here we do neither. J provides most of the service for free. Adds a few amazing and ground breaking services for a small nominal fee. Then trusts you to discern the value. This place runs on trust and good will. No ads, no passive aggression.

By going Pro you make this happen.
