LockBit, a hacker network, known for holding victims' data to ransom and ransomware-as-a-service, was led by Dmitry Khoroshev, unmasked by Britain's NCA.
Europol identified LockBit as behind the world's most deployed ransomware in 2022, causing billions in damages, with high-profile victims like Boeing, Royal Mail, and Continental.
Khoroshev, LockBit's leader, was confident in his anonymity, offering a $10mn reward for revealing his identity, until NCA unveiled his identity.
Khoroshev's dubious support for Trump emerged post-takedown of LockBit's operations, revealing his personal negligence and the gang's compromised infrastructure.
