LockBit is a financially motivated ransomware operation active since at least early 2020. It operates a ransomware-as-a-service program in which core operators provide ransomware and extortion infrastructure to criminal affiliates. Its ransomware generations and associated branding include LockBit 2.0, LockBit 3.0, and LockBit Black. The operation has targeted organizations internationally, including manufacturers, healthcare providers, telecommunications businesses, utilities, hospitality companies, professional-services firms, and transportation infrastructure. LockBit combines file encryption with data theft and threats to publish stolen information through its victim leak site. Affiliate techniques vary between intrusions. Documented activity includes exploiting CVE-2023-4966, known as Citrix Bleed, in Citrix NetScaler appliances to obtain access through compromised sessions, establish persistence, and move laterally. Associated attacks have involved password and token theft, security-control disabling, backdoor deployment, ransomware execution, and data exfiltration. LockBit malware has also modified Windows event-channel permissions to obstruct defenders’ access to logs. LockBit 3.0 introduced anti-analysis features and configurable encryption tooling; its leaked builder allows unrelated actors to generate working ransomware, complicating attribution based solely on the encryptor. Operation Cronos, led by the United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency with international partners, disrupted LockBit infrastructure in February 2024. Further disclosures followed in May 2024, when U.S. authorities indicted Russian national Dmitry Yuryevich Khoroshev as the alleged administrator behind the LockBitSupp persona. LockBit subsequently restored portions of its infrastructure, but its victim claims declined and included recycled listings from earlier attacks. Its affiliate-based structure distinguishes the core operation from individual intrusion teams and other actors using leaked LockBit tooling.
