The group post reads, “33 terabytes of juicy banking information containing Americans’ banking secrets. You better hire another negotiator within 48 hours, and fire this clinical idiot who values Americans’ bank secrecy at $50,000.”

LockBit is well-known for its major data breaches, such as those affecting companies like Boeing, ICBC Bank, Bangkok Airways, and others. The NCC Group recently reported that LockBit is the most active group behind ransomware attacks, even though its infrastructure was seized and its alleged leader, Dmitry Yuryevich Khoroshev, was exposed by law enforcement authorities.

In early June, the FBI informed that they obtained over 7,000 LockBit decryption keys and was inviting victims of LockBit ransomware to come forward to help them recover their encrypted data for free.

The Federal Reserve has not confirmed the breach or shared details about their response efforts, but federal agencies like CISA and the FBI are expected to be actively involved to address the situation.

The supposed cyberattack by LockBit 3.0 on the Federal Reserve shows that all sectors depending on digital infrastructure need to be more vigilant.
