What happened

ThreatsDay: Ransomware Affiliate Betrayal, WhatsApp RAT, Exposed Hacker Tools and 12 More Stories, according to The Hacker News. The crooks have trust problems of their own. One ransomware (software that locks up files and demands payment) affiliate decided to keep the profits for himself.

Elsewhere, an attacker left a server exposed, complete with tools and traces of an intrusion. Apparently, keeping things secure is a problem on both sides of the fence.
