LockBit Ransomware Group Introduces Bug Bounties and More

LockBit 3.0 is a revamped LockBit ransomware leak/extortion site introducing a criminal bug-bounty program, acceptance of privacy coin Zcash alongside Monero and Bitcoin, and paid user interactions that let third parties extend extortion timers, destroy, or download victim data — changes that could amplify monetization and anonymity for the group and shift RaaS behaviors across the ransomware ecosystem.
