Britain’s National Crime Agency, along with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, Europol and a coalition of international police agencies disrupted a notorious cybercrime gang known as Lockbit. Lockbit makes money by stealing sensitive data and threatening to leak it if victims fail to pay an extortionate ransom. Lockbit has hacked some of the largest organizations in the world – ION Trading UK and Boeing. According to Jon DiMaggio, chief security strategist at Analyst1 a U.S. based cybersecurity firm, “They are the Walmart of ransomware groups, they run it like a business – that’s what makes them different.”
