LockBit Ransomware Gang Hacked May 7, Exposing 62K Bitcoin Addresses; Tomoku and Rhysida Ransomware Attacks Reported

The LockBit ransomware gang, one of the most notorious cybercriminal groups, was itself hacked on May 7, 2025, resulting in the exposure of its dark web admin panel. The breach revealed over 62,000 Bitcoin addresses used for ransom payments and more than 4,400 victim negotiations, providing rare insight into ransomware-as-a-service operations. This leak has shed light on interactions between hackers and victims, ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises to multinational corporations. Separately, on May 3, 2025, Japan's Tomoku Co., Ltd. suffered a ransomware attack that encrypted several servers and disrupted its online order processing system. In Brazil, the Rhysida ransomware group claimed responsibility for breaching Centro Educacional São Camilo and is demanding a ransom of 7 Bitcoin, roughly $730,000, with a payment deadline set for May 21, 2025.
