Last week, Law enforcement agencies from 11 countries disrupted the notorious LockBit ransomware operation in a joint operation known as ”Operation Cronos.” However, the LockBit gang is relaunching its ransomware operation, Bleepingcomputer reports.
The gang kept the brand name and moved its data leak site to a new .onion address that lists five victims with countdown timers for publishing stolen information.

On February 19, authorities took down LockBit’s infrastructure, which included 34 servers hosting the data leak website and its mirrors, data stolen from the victims, cryptocurrency addresses, decryption keys, and the affiliate panel.
