International law enforcement agencies have disrupted the operations of a dark web website linked to the notorious cybercrime gang Lockbit, which is known for holding its victims’ data for ransom.

On Monday, the agencies seized the website where LockBit had publicly listed its victims in order to threaten them with potential data leaks if they failed to pay the ransom.
