In a major international law enforcement operation led by the National Crime Agency and the FBI, the LockBit cybercrime group has been disrupted. LockBit is notorious for its ransomware attacks, with CybelAngel attributing more than 725 ransomware attacks to LockBit since June 2023. We’ve traced these attacks to 76 countries globally, with 40% of victims located in the United States alone! While this operation is a significant win, we must remain vigilant as this does not signal the end of Ransomware by far.

🚨 Authorities Intensify Hunt for Emotet’s Alleged Mastermind Law enforcement authorities are intensifying efforts to apprehend an individual known as Odd, believed to be the mastermind behind the Emotet malware. Odd has used various nicknames and is suspected of collaborating with others on malware projects. Top 4 takeaways: 🪲 Originally a banking trojan, Emotet has developed into a versatile tool for delivering various malware payloads. Despite a law enforcement operation that took down its infrastructure, it resurfaced with low-volume campaigns in late 2021. 👮 As part of Operation Endgame, Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office (the Bundeskriminalamt) identified eight cybercriminals involved in SmokeLoader and Trickbot operations, now on the E.U. Most Wanted List. Russian cybercrime organizations used these services to target Western companies. 🧑💻 Cybercriminals on forums like XSS.IS are cautious after the recent crackdown, with discussions about the leaked Conti ransomware logs and speculation about a possible informant within their ranks. 🔥 The ongoing battle against cybercrime and the collaborative efforts of international law enforcement to dismantle malicious operations continues to stay heated post Operation Endgame.

Global law enforcement reportedly just scored a notable victory against the notorious Lockbit ransomware gang. 🔐 Lockbit is one of the most prolific and advanced ransomware operations, responsible for attacks on over 1,700 organizations globally. The FBI, NCA, Europol, Interpol and others gained control of Lockbit's main extortion site and backend attack infrastructure panel. The FBI claims to have obtained internal data on Lockbit's operations, victims, extortion profits, etc. This could allow law enforcement to identify affiliates, seize funds, and prevent future attacks. Experts say this is a major blow against Lockbit despite claims that some backup infrastructure remains active. It is good to have a victory, though this is not time to let down our guard!

🚨 Exciting Announcement from the Department of State 🚨 The Department of State is offering a reward of up to $10,000,000 for valuable information leading to the identification or location of individuals holding key leadership positions in the Hive ransomware variant transnational organized crime group. The Hive ransomware variant has impacted victims in over 80 countries, including the United States. Thanks to the diligent efforts of the FBI, beginning in late July 2022, we were able to penetrate Hive's computer networks, obtain decryption keys, and offer them to victims worldwide. This action prevented victims from having to pay up to $130 million in ransoms demanded. Your assistance could be instrumental in combatting cybercrime and protecting individuals and organizations from future attacks.
