LockBit 5.0 is the latest version of the long-running LockBit ransomware-as-a-service brand, one of the most prolific RaaS operations observed since 2019. The operation uses an affiliate model and double extortion, publishing non-paying victims and stolen data on its leak site, consistent with the victim cadence tracked here. In February 2024, international law enforcement (Operation Cronos, FBI/NCA and partners) seized servers and disrupted the group, and the U.S. DOJ subsequently identified alleged leader LockBitSupp as Russian national Dmitry Khoroshev. LockBit continued operating after the disruption, with vendor reporting through 2025 describing ongoing victim postings; technical details unique to the 5.0 encryptor are not well documented publicly. Well-documented tradecraft includes VPN and edge-device exploitation for initial access, the custom StealBit exfiltration tool, and pressure tactics such as countdown timers on its leak site.

Tactics & tooling
  • Double extortion: file encryption plus data exfiltration with leak-site publication
  • Ransomware-as-a-service affiliate model with recruited access brokers
  • Initial access via exploited VPN and edge devices, and stolen credentials (per CISA/FBI #StopRansomware advisories)
  • Exploitation of known vulnerabilities, including FortiOS, Zerologon, PrintNightmare, Follina, and Citrix Bleed
  • Custom StealBit exfiltration tool; loader-based delivery (e.g., QakBot) observed in affiliate intrusions per vendor reporting
  • Intermittent encryption for speed; disables security software, deletes shadow copies, reboots into safe mode (per CISA/FBI advisories)
  • Leak-site pressure tactics: countdown timers, victim shaming, reposting of non-payers
