Earlier this year, a foreign coalition called Cronos and made up of law enforcement agencies from several countries, adding the U. K. ‘s National Crime Agency (NCA) and the U. S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, joined the U. K. ‘s National Crime Agency (NCA). The U. S. government shut down the official online page of the LockBit ransomware network. It gave the impression of a typical recall with only a full-screen signal proclaiming that the device had been seized by the authorities.
On Sunday, in a twist of protocol, one of the dark Internet sites came back online. Although it retained the original LockBit format, all the miniatures were connected to the bust (below). It included things like law enforcement press releases and inactive links to more data like “Who is LockbitSupp?”, “What have we learned”, “More LB hackers exposed” and others. Some say the government is looking to “troll” the gang, but it’s hard to say who will have the final say when LockBit is still in business (more on that in a minute).
On Monday, the ANC announced on its X account that it would make an official announcement “within 24 hours” (May 7). It is unclear if it will be done in the form of a press release or if the seized online page will be activated. with the new configuration of the authorities. It will probably require at least one piece of writing since not everyone can access the dark web.
