Law enforcement agencies from multiple countries have successfully taken control of a website operated by LockBit, a notorious ransomware syndicate known for its cyberattacks worldwide. The front page of LockBit's website now displays a message indicating that it is under the control of law enforcement, with flags of the U.K., the U.S., and other nations prominently featured.
The operation was carried out by the U.K.'s National Crime Agency in collaboration with the FBI and an international law enforcement task force known as Operation Cronos. Additional agencies from Germany, France, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Europol are also involved in this ongoing effort.
