🚨Law Enforcement Agencies Seize LockBit Ransomware Group🚨

A few hours ago, news arrived that the LockBit website has been seized by law enforcement agencies, as a result of "Operation Cronos".

All websites associated with the LockBit ransomware group are currently inaccessible or display a notification of seizure by EUROPOL. It seems that authorities have taken control of or shut down, at least, 22 Tor sites.

The administrative staff of the LockBit ransomware group has confirmed that their websites have been seized.

Reportedly, the attack on the criminal gang was conducted by exploiting CVE-2023-3824.

"The FBI messed up servers using PHP, backup servers without PHP are not affected," said LockBit in a message to individuals on Tox.

This information was primarily collected from vxunderground.

This post will be updated with more details as soon as they become available.
