LockBit: Is this the end?
Manage episode 408889239 series 2738663
LockBit, the world's largest ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) provider suffered a very public takedown by an international law enforcement task force, Operation Cronos.
The ransomware behemoth quickly relaunched just days later. But in a world where trust is key, might the reputational damage be too great?
This is the story of the rise of LockBit, its relationship with other infamous cybercriminal groups, its uneasy relationship with some affiliates, its curious leader LockBitsupp, the public takedown and the relaunch, and what this means for the future of ransomware-as-a-service.
