LockBit’s Cyber Oops: Hackers Get Hacked, Crime Doesn’t Pay (But Info Might!)
A LockBit administration panel was hacked, revealing a treasure trove of juicy cybercriminal gossip—private messages, Bitcoin wallet addresses, and more. With a defaced message advising “Don’t do crime, crime is bad xoxo from Prague,” the hack hints at cybercriminals having their own soap opera-worthy drama.
Hot Take:
Who knew ransomware groups could be victims of hacking too? It’s like seeing a burglar’s house getting robbed! While LockBit might have been too busy playing the villain, someone else flipped the script and decided to give them a taste of their own medicine. Maybe next time they should heed their own defaced message: ‘Don’t do crime, crime is bad xoxo from Prague.’
