LockBit 5.0: Return of the Ransomware Giants - Ep 171
Description
LockBit is back—and stronger than ever. After multiple takedowns and sanctions, the ransomware-as-a-service giant has resurfaced with LockBit 5.0, a version designed to hit harder, spread faster, and target virtualization at scale.
In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, Tyler Moffitt unpacks what’s changed, why LockBit 5.0 matters, and what organizations should be doing now to reduce risk. From hypervisor attacks and cross-platform payloads to cartel-style alliances among cybercriminal crews, we explore how ransomware continues to evolve—and what defenders can learn from it.
Whether you’re an enterprise IT leader, MSP, or simply tracking the ransomware economy, this episode offers practical actions and strategic insights you can put to work this week.
