On May 8th, Slowmist announced that the ransomware LockBit was hacked. Its "onion" website was breached - the attacker took over the management panel and leaked a compressed file containing a database. The exposed information includes:

The attacker left a message: "Do not commit crimes, crime is bad, xoxo from Prague".
LockBit has been one of the most active RaaS (Ransomware as a Service) groups since 2019, known for its technical complexity, automation, and efficient ransom strategies, with estimated ransom profits exceeding $150 million, and marked as an APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) by multiple national security agencies.
