LockBit, World’s #1 Cyber Criminals (An Inside Look)

For years the cybercrime scene was dominated by Lockbit: the largest and the scariest ransomware gang in the world. It attacked major companies and governments, leaked their secrets on the dark web, and attracted some of the most active freelance hackers. But LockBit’s reign over the cyber underworld seems to be coming to an end.
We would like to thank Jon DiMaggio from Analyst1 for contributing to this story.

*edit: We released this video prior to the gang leader's exposure. However, it highlights their path to becoming what they are, as well as the issues LockBit faced before the gang's takedown.

[@veiga1000]

Please tell us about CLOP. This is endlessly fascinating.

[@dhong168]

I can foresee pretty soon your comment will also be generated by AI!

[@pain12723]

More of these please, loved this. Since you mention CLOP coming on top you should do a vid on them too

[@giuliagursch7995]

Amazing job; I would love to hear more about CLOP

[@neanda]

just got to say while i'm waching this, the video editing and graphics are proper next level, gonna have to watch it a second time to listen to the story :)

[@cybernews]

We wanted to create something visually special for this story, and we're glad you like it!

[@Jid-bj9cc]

Great vid! Would love to hear about CLOp

[@donnademedicimadden1897]

Well done and great explanation for all to understand!

[@donnademedicimadden1897]

Put this in a new book!

[@r0n762]

It's a stark reminder of the challenges we face in the digital age. Kudos to the team for bringing this information to light and raising awareness about the ongoing battle against cyber threats.

[@cybernews]

Thank you for this comment! We were excited to work on this one ;)

[@TulyDebnath]

A great video

[@markarca6360]

This was featured on the podcast "Click Here" by Recorded Future News (Episode 50).

[@Sam-nC1mf]

Absolutely amazing

[@cybernews]

Thanks for watching!

[@MiguelMendez-ef6nq]

This video is inaccurate about Lockbit. Yes, they had a slight setback, but they are out there already taking out new victims with their newest version.

[@Allfath3r]

They just got pwned by the FBI

[@codelinx]

Lmao bruh sit back and wait.... Just because they are still attacking doesn't mean they aren't being attacked back. They don't want to show they are vulnerable and they official government orgs also want this secret. Look at what happened... They have been under attacks and are now going to be exposed in a beautiful reveal...tadah!

[@striderstache99]

@@Allfath3rnot quite over. FBI thought they had them but nah.

[@New.Beginnings88]

They just hacked a huge company in BC Canada called London drugs. Scary stuff

[@billwaterson9492]

I don't know if there's any evidence to support that

[@AmandaT-xl7qm]

Yes please make more of these videis

[@minakasilva6952]

Amazing

[@Aryisk]

why does it say 40 comments and there are only like 20-22 comments? where are the other comments? also why does 3/4 of the comments look like fake bought comments? what are you up to CyberNews? this all seems a bit odd here

[@george_anak_lihi_private_hot]

wow so cool

[@breakingprotocol9791]

CLOP please!

[@barithapadmasiri5103]

where can I get the bulider? HAHAA!

[@neverlookbackwilly]

Make a video about Clop c'mon :p

[@0xracerboy]

Funny how just about a few days ago they got got!

[@fujiwarachoki]

I'd say they're heros.

[@iamwitchergeraltofrivia9670]

Cool more malware services

[@Youtubewatcher1x]
