LockBit ransomware group warns FBI Director Kash Patel about his subordinates focusing on manipulating narratives rather than performing their duties.
LockBit, a notorious cybercrime group, has a history of ransomware attacks and was previously targeted by a coordinated operation named Operation Cronos.
LockBit re-emerged as LockBit 2.0 after the crackdown, targeting critical federal infrastructure ahead of the 2024 elections.
The group is now using a new tactic by directly reaching out to FBI Director Kash Patel, possibly as part of a psychological operation.
