Earlier today Jon DiMaggio released an article titled: "Ransomware Diaries: Part 1". This article is one of the most comprehensive papers on Lockbit ransomware group we have ever seen.

Our personal 2-extra-cents on the paper: the article states the Lockbit Black source code was leaked - this is incorrect. Additionally, the author cites John Hammond for releasing a tweet on the Lockbit Black leak - although the truth is John Hammond archived a tweet we deleted. The image posted in the article is directly from us - we typically use HasteBin to display text-images.

For those questioning why we deleted the tweet: Lockbit is notorious for chasing individuals down, and is sometimes bloodthirsty. We will spare the details - but we decided it would be best to not involve ourselves in ransomware conflict which directly impacts their operations.

We spoke with LB0, the individual who we believe is the troll of LockbitSupp. vx-underground staff and LB0 spoke - we came to a mutual agreement to not leak the Lockbit Black builder until someone else did (if it did). We did not want drama. We are a library, not a battlestation.

Finally, and in conclusion, Jon DiMaggio's paper is wonderful and spot on. Thank you, Jon, for detailing the history and evolution of this group.
