LockBit Locked Down

In a rare act of global collaboration, law enforcement agencies from the UK, USA, Europol and others have united to take down a notorious ransomware group named LockBit. ‘Operation Cronos’ was launched to disrupt the gang’s operations and, where possible, help ransomware victims regain access to their data.

The UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) has announced that four suspects have been arrested in the USA, Poland and Ukraine. And more arrests are expected as the investigation continues.
