LockBit, a notorious ransomware gang, was recently hacked, exposing the gang's secrets.
LockBit operates like a business, offering ransomware-as-a-service, and conducts attacks through various tools and techniques like software vulnerabilities, stolen credentials, and phishing emails.
An unknown entity defaced LockBit's dark web affiliate panels, revealing sensitive data such as chat logs and victim names.
Law enforcement efforts like Operation Cronos have targeted LockBit, seizing critical intelligence, arresting members, and disrupting the group's operations.
