Keeping their name as usual, LockBit moved its data leak site to a new .onion address where five new victims name disclosed.
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.
