Hot Take:

Guess who's taking a "russian" out of the cybercrime game? Dmitry Yuryevich Khoroshev, a.k.a. Mr. LockBitSupp, has finally been doxxed by law enforcement, and the cyber underworld is shaking in its digital boots. The LockBit group's been playing "encrypt the data and run," but it looks like it's game over, folks! With the kind of money they were raking in, you'd think they could afford a better hide-and-seek strategy. Note to self: Bragging about being uncatchable is like wearing a "Please Hack Me" T-shirt to a hacker convention.
