Overview

• The LockBit ransomware group has resumed operations and set new deadlines for releasing stolen data, including documents from Fulton County.
• International law enforcement's recent crackdown on LockBit disrupted but did not dismantle the group, leading to the arrest of several members and the seizure of infrastructure.
• LockBit claims to possess documents related to Donald Trump's court cases that could impact the upcoming US election, threatening to release them unless ransoms are paid.
• The group has moved its data leak site to a new address and vows to continue targeting government entities, despite law enforcement's efforts to compromise their operations.
• Authorities continue to gather intelligence and work to disrupt LockBit, but the group's quick recovery and return to activity highlight the challenges of combating ransomware.
