Operation cronos and the magnitude of the lockbit reaction: 119 previously unclaimed victims worldwide

In recent days, following the events involving the LockBit criminal group and law enforcement with Operation Cronos, the hacker group decided to go all in and publish hundreds of attacks on its data leak site. Among them were many older attacks dating back to 2022, but after a long and careful analysis, the names of 119 victims had never been claimed before. This number will likely increase in the coming days. A reaction like this has never been seen previously and shows the firepower of this criminal group, ready to publish terabytes of data.

A preliminary analysis of these 119 newly disclosed targets shows a significant impact across various industries. Manufacturing companies made up 25% of the total, while professional and technical services accounted for 11%, and the ICT sector comprised another 11%. Healthcare and education each represented 8% of the victims, and government entities followed with 5%.

Geographical Breakdown:
