From today’s update to the LockBit3.0 blog, now under the control of law enforcement, we read claims that law enforcement knows who and where LockBitSupp is, and that he drives a Mercedes and not a Lamborghini.
Now that last bit may be enough to get a response from LockBitSupp if they’re just trolling him. But are they trolling when they claim he has engaged with law enforcement?
Law enforcement has made some great progress in disrupting ransomware groups and getting help to victims, but seizing an onion site and servers without being able to arrest the leaders and those involved leaves them able to regroup, rebrand, and code new lockers.
AlphV is still standing although they took a hit. And given the size of LockBitSupp’s ego, it’s likely they will re-emerge as just a new version of LockBit. Will they try to take revenge for law enforcement’s actions and posts? It seems likely to DataBreaches.
