The notorious ransomware group LockBit has been compromised, leading to the exposure of critical internal data. Hackers infiltrated LockBit's dark web infrastructure, leaking a MySQL database containing approximately 60,000 Bitcoin addresses associated with the group's illicit activities. This breach offers unprecedented insight into LockBit's financial operations.

In addition to financial data, the leak includes internal communications, ransom negotiation records, and affiliate credentials. A defaced message on LockBit's site stated, "Don't do crime, crime is bad," suggesting the attackers' intent to undermine the group's credibility. This incident marks a significant setback for LockBit, potentially aiding law enforcement efforts to trace and disrupt ransomware networks.
