The FBI announced it has obtained over 7,000 LockBit decryption keys following an international takedown (Operation Cronos) and is urging victims to come forward to recover encrypted data; despite seizures and arrests linked to LockBit leadership and affiliates, the group remains active, has switched infrastructure, continues leaking stolen data, and is estimated to have extorted up to $1 billion across roughly 7,000 attacks.
