Ransomware attack on a computer

The notorious LockBit ransomware gang has stolen approximately $91 million just from victims in the United States since 2020, making it one of the most successful, if not the most successful, ransomware threats out there.

The news comes from a joint advisory, published earlier this week by the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the FBI, Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC), and the cybersecurity authorities of Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, France, and New Zealand.
