Justice Department disrupts LockBit cybergang, indicts 2 Russian nationals for using ransomware variant
Fox News
The U.S. Department of Justice and other law enforcement agencies disrupted LockBit actors' ability to attack networks, steal data and extort victims.
According to the statement, the DOJ and its partners also indicted two Russian nationals for deploying LockBit against numerous victims: Artur Sungatov and Ivan Kondratyev, also known by his online alias "Bassterlord."
"For years, LockBit associates have deployed these kinds of attacks again and again across the United States and around the world," said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. "Today, U.S. and U.K. law enforcement are taking away the keys to their criminal operation. And we are going a step further — we have also obtained keys from the seized LockBit infrastructure to help victims decrypt their captured systems and regain access to their data. LockBit is not the first ransomware variant the Justice Department and its international partners have dismantled. It will not be the last."
