LockBit takes credit for November ransomware attack on Sacramento PBS station

The LockBit ransomware group this week said it was responsible for a November ransomware attack on a public broadcasting affiliate in Sacramento, California.

The high-profile cybercrime gang made the claim on the dark web site where it leaks victims’ data.

The PBS station KVIE announced the attack on November 23, noting that some of its internal systems were affected on October 31. It immediately took systems offline, notified law enforcement and hired experts to investigate the incident.
