Trend Micro reports on the fallout from the international law enforcement takedown of LockBit ransomware platforms. "Contrary to what the group themselves have stated, activities observed post-disruption would indicate that Operation Chronos has a significant impact on the group's activities. The leak of LockBit's back-end information offered a glimpse into its internal workings and disclosed affiliate identities and victim data, potentially leading to a drop in trust and collaboration within the cybercriminal network."

My two cents about the #Lockbit #ransomware takedown.

What is likely to happen now is that the parties who make up the bulk of Lockbit will rebrand under another of their goofy ransomware brand names, and will continue doing business as usual.

Russia has no incentive whatsoever to put a stop to this, so nothing will change until and unless there is a dramatic regime change in Russia, or the ransomware threat actors cross a line and end up falling out of a third-story window into a pile of bullets carelessly left in a cup full of Novichok on the street below.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far!

It is nice to start the week with a win for the good guys! The National Crime Agency (NCA) along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other international partners conducted #OperationCronos to disrupt and ultimately gain control of #LockBit's "primary administration environment". They also have the source code and intel AND two LockBit actors have been arrested. I am sure a re-branding or another APT group will rise from these ashes but it is important to enjoy the win while it is here! Happy Hunting!
