Lockbit dismantling progresses

Europol has announced a significant breakthrough in the fight against the Lockbit ransomware gang, with a coordinated effort by police authorities from 12 countries leading to the shutdown of nine critical servers and the arrest of four suspects linked to the cybercriminal network. This operation, part of "Operation Cronos," also involved the arrest of a Bulletproof hosting service operator in Spain and a Lockbit developer in France. Additionally, financial sanctions have been imposed on 24 Russian nationals associated with the gang. This action underscores the global collective effort to combat cybercrime.
