Special services revived Lockbit’s captured site to announce new information disclosed by law enforcement agencies.
After a large-scale operation Kronos, law enforcement agencies closed Lockbit infrastructure and converted one of the leaks into the site for publications of press releases.

BleepingComputer discovered that on May 5, the LockBit website was again launched, and 7 new posts were announced on it, which should appear today at 14:00 (UTC).

Now it is necessary to wait if the law enforcement agencies will reveal something significant about Lockbit’s head, or it will again be disappointed.
