Police resurrect LockBit’s site and troll the ransomware gang


An international coalition of police agencies have resurrected the dark web site of the notorious LockBit ransomware gang, which they had seized earlier

An international coalition of police agencies have resurrected the dark web site of the notorious LockBit ransomware gang, which they had seized earlier this year, teasing new revelations about the group. In February, a law enforcement coalition that included the U.K.’s National Crime Agency, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as forces from Germany, Finland, France, Japan and others announced that they had infiltrated LockBit’s official site. Since the authorities announced what they called “Operation Cronos” against LockBit in February, the group’s leader, known as LockBitSupp has claimed in an interview that law enforcement has exaggerated its access to the criminal organization as well as the effect of its takedown.
