Lockbit disruption

Event Details

The takedown, dubbed “Operation Cronos” was an international coalition of 10 countries, he said. “Together, we have arrested, indicted or sanctioned some of the perpetrators and we have gained unprecedented and comprehensive access to Lockbit’s systems”. Law enforcement arrested two operators of the LockBit ransomware gang in Poland and Ukraine, created a decryption tool to recover encrypted files for free, and seized over 200 crypto-wallets. Two of the indictments were unsealed by the U.S. Justice Department against two Russian nationals, Artur Sungatov and Ivan Gennadievich Kondratiev (aka Bassterlord), for their involvement in LockBit attacks. Sungatov and Kondratiev were also sanctioned today by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control.
