LockBit ransomware gang hacked, victim negotiations exposed www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…

The LockBit ransomware gang has suffered a data breach after its dark web affiliate panels were defaced and replaced with a message linking to a MySQL database dump. All of the ransomware gang’s admin panels now state. “Don’t do crime CRIME IS BAD xoxo from Prague,” with a link to download a “paneldb_dump.zip.”

As first spotted by the threat actor, Rey, this archive contains a SQL file dumped from the site affiliate panel’s MySQL database. From analysis by BleepingComputer, this database contains twenty tables, with some more interesting than others. In a Tox conversation with Rey, the LockBit operator known as ‘LockBitSupp’ confirmed the breach, stating that no private keys were leaked or data lost.
