Lockbit 3.0 Claims Attack on Federal Reserve: 33 Terabytes Allegedly Compromised
On June 23, 2024, at 20:27 UTC, Lockbit 3.0 announced that it had infiltrated the systems of the Federal Reserve.

In a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly complex and pervasive, this incident highlights the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity strategies and international cooperation to combat ransomware and protect critical infrastructure from future attacks.
