Following the seizure of the gang’s infrastructure, Khoroshev has been sanctioned by the UK, US, and Australia. Despite his previous confidence in his anonymity, evidenced by a $10m reward offer for his identity, the US is now offering the same amount for information leading to his arrest or conviction.
LockBit, known for targeting major companies like Royal Mail and Boeing, saw its operations significantly weakened after a global law enforcement crackdown. The NCA reports that the gang’s rebuilding efforts have resulted in a less sophisticated and less impactful operation. Khoroshev remains at large, likely due to Russia’s non-cooperation in extraditing cybercriminals.
Every day, new cyber threats emerge that can disrupt businesses and compromise data security. This reality underscores the critical need for robust security measures and strategic solutions to protect against these risks. Abatis technology provides a proven, reliable defense, offering advanced protection essential for organizations aiming to safeguard their systems from the sophisticated tactics of cybercriminals like those behind LockBit.
