Cybercrime Boss Unmasked: LockBit’s Mastermind Dmitry Khoroshev Faces Global Sanctions

Dmitry Khoroshev, the elusive maestro behind LockBit ransomware, has been outed by the long arm of the law. A $10 million bounty dangles for his capture, yet he remains snug in Russia—possibly chuckling at his own “Most Wanted” poster. Cyber justice plays hide-and-seek, while LockBit stumbles on wobbly knees.

Hot Take:

Well, folks, it looks like the cyber sheriff has finally slapped a wanted poster on the wall with Dmitry Yuryevich Khoroshev's smug mug on it. AKA Mr. LockBitSupp, the now-not-so-incognito kingpin of ransomware rascality. Despite the fanfare, let's not hold our breath for a Hollywood-style perp walk, considering he's cozied up in Mother Russia, where the long arm of the law is more like a T-Rex limb. But hey, at least we've got a name to scowl at now!
