A LockBit Ransomware Affiliate has been sentenced to four years in prison in Canada, and ordered to pay $860,000 after a guilty plea, marking a significant legal action against the cybercrime organization. This comes amidst a series of cyberattacks attributed to LockBit, including recent claims of responsibility for attacks on various entities across the globe. The group's purported leader, despite the crackdown, has vowed to continue their hacking activities, stating, "I love the FBI — without the FBI my life wouldn't be as fun, and they're just doing their job." Following an FBI takedown attempt, the LockBit ransomware gang has reportedly launched five new attacks, showcasing the ongoing challenge of curbing cybercrime activities.
