The LockBit ransomware group has suffered a data breach, with hackers defacing its dark web affiliate panels and leaking operational data, including nearly 60,000 Bitcoin addresses and 4,442 negotiation messages with victims. While the breach exposed public keys and other attack details, no private wallet keys were compromised. This incident follows a previous multinational law enforcement operation that had seized LockBit's management platform and servers. Separately, German authorities have shut down the crypto-swapping service eXch, confiscating assets worth approximately 34 million euros along with the platform's infrastructure. eXch is suspected of facilitating money laundering activities. The seizure included over 8 terabytes of data, which may potentially reveal further historical theft or fraud cases involving cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Dash.

你看,没逃过执法铁拳啊...除了超过 8TB 的大量数据外,执法还查获了价值约 3400 万欧元的比特币、以太币、莱特币和达世币... 这 8TB 数据,也许可以顺便挖出一堆历史团伙的盗币或诈骗事迹了...👻 https://t.co/02okssMvhv
