The U.S. State Department is offering rewards up to $15 million for information on the leaders of the LockBit ransomware group. This announcement comes amidst reports that LockBit was secretly building a new version of its file encryptor, dubbed LockBit-NG-Dev, when law enforcement took down the gang. Despite the takedown, ransomware associated with LockBit continues to spread, exploiting high-risk ConnectWise flaws. Security experts have highlighted the ongoing threat posed by the group, even as authorities, including the UK National Crime Agency and the FBI, have taken steps to undermine the gang's operations, including trolling the boss of LockBit on his commandeered dark web site. The efforts to combat LockBit underscore the challenges in addressing the root issues of ransomware and digital extortion.
