Notorious ransomware gang LockBit has been taken down by a global law enforcement operation.
The UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) teamed up with the FBI, Europol and others on “Operation Cronos,” according to a message displayed on LockBit’s leak site.
According to screenshots posted on X (formerly Twitter), the group’s affiliate panel has also been seized by law enforcement, as well as internal data including chat messages, source code and details on victims and extortion payments.
“You can thank Lockbitsupp and their flawed infrastructure for this situation … we may be in touch with you very soon,” reads a message posted by law enforcement to the affiliate panel. Lockbitsupp is the handle of the believed ringleader of the ransomware group.
