That list includes mix of new and old targets, including government systems in Fulton County, Ga., where authorities earlier this month <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/02\/14\/tech\/fulton-county-ransomware-attack-financially-motivated-actors\/index.html\">acknowledged<\/a> dealing with a serious cybersecurity issue. <\/p>\n<p>In a dubious, rambling message posted Saturday, LockBit administrators claimed that the Fulton County data was the reason the FBI pulled the trigger on the operation, given that the \u201cstolen documents contain a lot of interesting things and Donald Trump\u2019s court cases that could affect the upcoming US election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHad it not been for the election situation, the FBI would have continued to sit on my server waiting for any leads to arrest me and my associates,\u201d the statement said, adding that LockBit was set to release the Fulton County documents the day law enforcement took the servers down. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Authorities in Fulton County <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-georgia-election-investigation-grand-jury-willis-d39562cedfc60d64948708de1b011ed3\">are prosecuting<\/a> former President Donald Trump on charges that he sought to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear whether LockBit, which until last week\u2019s law enforcement operation ranked as the world\u2019s most prolific ransomware group, is in possession of Trump-related files, and British authorities \u2014&nbsp;who played a leading role in the takedown operation \u2014&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/therecord.media\/lockbit-relaunch-attempt-follwing-takedown\">said last week<\/a> that the takedown operation began in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>In their message on Saturday, LockBit administrators listed more than two dozen servers they claim contain victim data, as well as more than a dozen mirrors and half a dozen domains associated with the new blog. <\/p>\n<p>The message added that the group believes its site was likely taken down utilizing a <a href=\"https:\/\/nvd.nist.gov\/vuln\/detail\/CVE-2023-3824\">vulnerability<\/a> in the server software PHP. The vulnerable version of the software had not been updated because \u201cfor 5 years of swimming in money I became very lazy,\u201d the message read. <\/p>\n<p>Neither the FBI nor the U.K.\u2019s National Crime Agency responded to questions from CyberScoop on Monday. But in a statement <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2024\/feb\/26\/russian-based-lockbit-ransomware-hackers-attempt-comeback\">given to the Guardian<\/a>, the NCA said LockBit remains \u201ccompletely compromised\u201d and noted that the group would \u201cattempt to regroup\u201d even as law enforcement efforts continue.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>LockBitSupp, the point of contact for public questions to the group, did not respond to a series of questions sent Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"58\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/lockbit-claims-a-comeback-less-than-a-week-after-major-disruption.png?resize=640%2C58&#038;ssl=1\" alt class=\"wp-image-79455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/lockbit-claims-a-comeback-less-than-a-week-after-major-disruption-1.png 1449w, https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/lockbit-claims-a-comeback-less-than-a-week-after-major-disruption-1.png?resize=300,27 300w, https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/lockbit-claims-a-comeback-less-than-a-week-after-major-disruption-1.png?resize=768,69 768w, https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/lockbit-claims-a-comeback-less-than-a-week-after-major-disruption-1.png?resize=1024,93 1024w, https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/lockbit-claims-a-comeback-less-than-a-week-after-major-disruption-1.png?resize=600,54 600w, https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/lockbit-claims-a-comeback-less-than-a-week-after-major-disruption-1.png?resize=1200,108 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1449px) 100vw, 1449px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The banner atop the new website as it appeared late Monday, Feb. 26, 2024 (CyberScoop).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The exact extent to which LockBit\u2019s services are once more available to criminal hackers remained unclear as of Monday, but researchers who study ransomware communities said the attempt by LockBit to resuscitate its operations came as no surprise. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody would let a multi-million dollar business go down without a fight,\u201d Brett Callow, a threat analyst with Emsisoft, told CyberScoop Monday. Callow cautioned that LockBit\u2019s \u201cclaims seem implausible and reek of desperation\u201d and added that \u201cin all likelihood the Lockbit brand is dead.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo smart affiliate will want to work with an operation that was so completely compromised and, for that matter, is quite probably still completely compromised,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Callow said that LockBit\u2019s comeback shows \u201cthe whack-a-mole nature of the fight against ransomware.\u201d In December, the FBI seized some servers associated with the ransomware gang ALPHV, only to have the group <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/fbi-seizes-alphv-leak-website-hours-later-ransomware-gang-claims-it-unseized-it\/\">claim hours later to have \u201cunseized\u201d them<\/a> and resumed operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnless arrests are made, groups will not stay down,\u201d Callow said. \u201cWe saw this with ALPHV, and we\u2019re seeing it now with LockBit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As part of last week\u2019s operation against LockBit, authorities arrested three men, one in Poland and <a href=\"http:\/\/reuters.com\/technology\/cybersecurity\/ukraine-arrests-father-son-duo-lockbit-cybercrime-bust-2024-02-21\/\">a father and son in Ukraine<\/a>, for their alleged roles in LockBit activities. <\/p>\n<p>The primary administrator of the group, known online as LockBitSupp, appears to remain at large. Law enforcement authorities had said they would reveal LockBitSupp\u2019s identity on Friday but instead posted a message saying they knew where he was, the car he drove, and how much money he has. The authorities also said that LockBitSupp had \u201cengaged with Law Enforcement,\u201d perhaps as <a href=\"http:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/lockbit-takedown-messaging-campaign\/\">a means to undermine the group\u2019s reputation<\/a> in the cybercrime ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. State Department has offered up to $15 million in rewards for information leading to the identification and\/or arrest of LockBit leadership or people engaging in LockBit-related attacks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Adam Hickey, the former deputy assistant attorney general with the Department of Justice\u2019s National Security Division, told CyberScoop last week that while takedowns are valuable, law enforcement operations alone won\u2019t eliminate the ransomware phenomenon. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have certain nations unwilling to apply fairly uncontroversial, neutral rules about what is criminal behavior on the internet to their own citizens if it suits their purpose,\u201d Hickey said. \u201cIf the people who do this aren\u2019t ultimately arrested and held accountable by their government or ours, there will continue to be a market for this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"1.0380228136882\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"8\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/lockbit-claims-a-comeback-less-than-a-week-after-major-disruption-1.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"AJ Vicens\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by AJ Vicens<\/h4>\n<p> AJ covers nation-state threats and cybercrime.
