LockBit ransomware disrupted by global police operation

Law enforcement from ten countries (Operation Cronos) disrupted the LockBit ransomware-as-a-service operation, seizing its data leak site, affiliate panel and internal materials (source code, chats, victim data). The report notes LockBit's history of high-profile compromises and an estimated $91M extorted across many U.S. incidents; the operation is ongoing and further official statements are expected.
