Has the notorious LockBit ransomware gang finally met its end? In a shocking turn of events, LockBit, one of the most notorious ransomware groups, has had its own site defaced and a massive amount of data dumped. LockBit’s own leak site was defaced with a bold message: “Do not crime. Crime is bad.” Alongside that, a massive data dump was exposed — including internal chats, decryption guides, negotiation histories, and even Bitcoin wallet addresses. We’re talking about over 4,400 chats, tools to bypass specific targets, and ransom demands ranging from $4,000 to $150,000. This breach comes almost exactly one year after Operation Kronos, a major law enforcement effort that previously disrupted LockBit’s operations and led to the arrest of its alleged lead developer. Could this be the final chapter in the LockBit saga? Not so fast — a new info-stealer gang called Marco Polo has just emerged. The ransomware landscape is always shifting. 🛡️ Looking to bolster your defenses?
