Qakbot, one of the largest and longest-running botnets to date, was taken down following a multinational law enforcement operation spearheaded by the FBI and known as Operation 'Duck Hunt.' The botnet (also known as Qbot and Pinkslipbot) was linked by law enforcement to at least 40 ransomware attacks against companies, healthcare providers, and government agencies worldwide, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage, according to conservative estimates. Over the past 18 months alone, losses have surpassed 58 million dollars. Throughout the years, Qakbot has consistently served as an initial infection vector for various ransomware gangs and their affiliates or operators, including Conti, ProLock, Egregor, REvil, RansomExx, MegaCortex, and, most recently, Black Basta. https://lnkd.in/d_7sYnXP

I see two main takeaways here. 1. LockBit made ransom demands totaling hundreds of millions of dollars and received more than $140 million in ransom payments. Not everyone pays. In fact, most don’t. The reason being is there is no guarantee of getting access to your data even if you pay. 2. The FBI has also developed decryption capabilities that may enable victims to restore systems encrypted using the LockBit ransomware variant. If possible, don’t delete your encrypted data. You may get access back through the work of cybersecurity professionals in the future. #cybercrime #cybercrimeawareness #welldone
The #FBI joined the National Crime Agency (NCA)'s Cyber Division and international law enforcement partners in London today to announce the disruption of the LockBit ransomware group, one of the most active ransomware groups in the world that has targeted over 2,000 victims, received more than $140 million in ransom payments, and made ransom demands totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. The FBI has also developed decryption capabilities that may enable victims to restore systems encrypted using the LockBit ransomware variant. Beginning today, victims targeted by this malware are encouraged to contact the FBI at https://lnkd.in/gfahRYyb to enable law enforcement to determine whether affected systems can be successfully decrypted.
