Cracking Down on Lockbit: Taking a Stand Against the 'Walmart of Ransomware'
Law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and UK's National Crime Agency, strike a significant blow against the Lockbit ransomware group, unveiling the organized structure of the criminal organization. Affiliates are warned of law enforcement's access to source code and victim information, leading to arrests of individuals in multiple countries and promising the revelation of the gang's administrator soon. The chapter underscores the ongoing ransomware threat, provides guidance to victims not to pay ransom, and humorously transitions to a discussion about imagining scenarios of one of the speakers meeting their end.
