SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) — A ransomware gang that infiltrated some Costa Rican government computer systems has upped its threat, saying its goal is now to overthrow the government.

Chaves suggested Monday in a news conference that the attack was coming from inside as well as outside Costa Rica.

He said officials were battling a national terrorist group that had collaborators inside Costa Rica.

In a message Monday, Conti warned that it was working with people inside the government.

“We haven’t seen anything even close to this before and it’s quite a unique situation,” said Brett Callow, a ransomware analyst at Emsisoft.

State Department statement last week said the Conti group had been responsible for hundreds of ransomware incidents during the past two years.
