LONDON, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Lockbit, a notorious cybercrime gang that holds its victims' data to ransom, has been disrupted in a rare international law enforcement operation, the gang and U.S. and UK authorities said on Monday.
Disruption to the LockBit operation is significantly greater than first revealed. As well as taking control of the public-facing website, the NCA seized LockBit’s primary administration environment, the infrastructure that allowed it to manage and deploy the technology that it used to extort businesses and individuals around the world.
