Hikki-Chan Sega continues. Hi Rey ;)
I heard Grep did a follow up interview with you, but you guys missed few points..
What Happened?
The enigmatic figure known as Hikki-Chan, an alleged administrator of the infamous Hellcat ransomware group, has found themselves under an even “brighter” spotlight. A recent "interview" conducted by the infamous hacker named Grep attempts to paint Hikki as a credible, skilled threat actor. However, upon closer inspection, this effort seems to be an orchestrated ploy to bolster a false narrative.
It all started with a small Telegram group (Nice name Grep) that published what seem to be an interesting article..
Why This Matters
The cybersecurity community must remain cautious about the glorification and legitimization of individuals like Hikki-Chan. By feeding into the mythos of so-called "elite" hackers without thorough validation, we risk giving undue credibility to actors who may not actually possess the prowess they claim.
More importantly, the attempts to elevate Hikki-Chan's status through platforms like Grep’s "interview" serve as a reminder of how social engineering extends beyond direct hacking tactics. This is a psychological operation aiming to instill fear, recruit, and distract from the real operators behind Hellcat's campaigns.
As you can see in the beginning of the “Interview” (Don’t forget the remember that face) :
The Projection Method
Rey, don’t deny.. misinformation is exactly what you are doing, its called Projection:
Projection is a defense mechanism where an individual unconsciously attributes their own thoughts, feelings, or behaviors to someone else to avoid acknowledging them within themselves.
For example:
If someone is lying but accuses others of dishonesty, they are projecting their behavior onto others.
More False Claims
I've never seen any attempt of you to contact me and provide different data that could affect my attribution. I am still 90% sure your are IRGC affiliated, and more then that, based on your BF posts and databases you “Hacked’ (more like reposted), you are a phony.
The Bigger Picture
Hellcat ransomware has caused considerable disruption, but attributing its success solely to Hikki-Chan may be a deliberate diversion. The group has targeted sensitive industries, leveraging advanced tools and techniques—characteristics that often require a collective effort rather than the work of a single individual.
This narrative manipulation has larger implications:
Recruitment Tactics: Fabricating a "leader" persona can attract aspiring hackers seeking guidance or notoriety.
Media Manipulation: Sensational stories about "master hackers" distract from actual investigative efforts into Hellcat's broader network.
Security Posturing: Overestimating or mischaracterizing adversaries can lead organizations to focus on the wrong defensive priorities.
Did you remember the face?
The Bottom Line
The cybersecurity community cannot afford to be swayed by smoke and mirrors. While figures like Hikki-Chan dominate headlines, the real focus should remain on dismantling the infrastructure supporting Hellcat ransomware operations.
Don’t be misled by flashy interviews or hyped personas. The real danger lies in the shadows, and uncovering it requires vigilance, critical thinking, and collaboration across the cybersecurity ecosystem.
