LockBit’s website, infrastructure, and data have been seized by law enforcement—striking a huge blow against one of the world’s most prolific ransomware groups.
For the past four years, the LockBit ransomware group has been on an unrelenting rampage, hacking into thousands of businesses, schools, medical facilities, and governments around the world—and making millions in the process. A children’s hospital, Boeing, the UK’s Royal Mail, and sandwich chain Subway have all been recent victims. But LockBit’s hacking campaign has come to a juddering halt.
Also within the gathered information is company data from ransomware attacks where victims have paid a ransom to LockBit, according to the NCA. “Even when a ransom is paid, it does not guarantee that data will be deleted, despite what the criminals have promised,” the police force says. The law enforcement bodies involved in the takedown have also obtained decryption keys for companies and organizations that have had their data locked but not paid to regain access.
