In a remarkable display of international cooperation, law enforcement agencies from 11 countries, including powerhouses like the FBI, the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA), and Europol, have delivered a significant blow to the LockBit ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) gang. Known as the most prolific entity in the ransomware scene, LockBit’s operations were significantly disrupted through the collaborative effort of a taskforce comprising 17 agencies. This operation saw the seizure of 11,000 domains linked to LockBit and its affiliates, marking a historic stride in the ongoing battle against cybercrime.
