Lockbit’s website has been seized and its ransomware operations disrupted by international law enforcement agencies. Under the auspices of “Operation Cronos,” a joint investigation by 11 separate law enforcement services, the site now appears to be under the control of the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation.

“This site is now under the control of [t]he National Crime Agency of the UK, [w]orking in close cooperation with the FBI and the international law enforcement task force, Operation Cronos,” reads a new banner appearing on Lockbit’s website. “We can confirm that Lockbit’s services have been disrupted as a result of International Law Enforcement action – this is an ongoing and developing operation.”
