On Saturday, the gang said it was restarting its ransomware business and acknowledged that their carelessness led to law enforcement stopping its activity in Operation Cronos.

6 days back, “Operation Cronos” was led by the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) with support from Europol, Eurojust, and global law enforcement agencies. The task force was able to take control of 34 servers that made up LockBit’s primary platform, as well as 14,000 accounts used by the group to host tools and store data stolen from victims. The operation also seized 200 crypto-wallets and 1,000 decryption keys which were used to develop a decryptor tool that is now available to the public.
