Leaked files were made briefly accessible through an onion site on the Tor network.
The inner workings of Lockbit were exposed following a recent data leak.
According to research by Ontinue, the LockBit breach shed light on a low payout rate, as well as the RaaS group's failure to provide the decryption tool to victims that had fulfilled its demands.
Reported by Hackread, the leaked files were made briefly accessible through an onion site on the Tor network, and exposed chat logs, ransomware build records, configuration files, Bitcoin wallet addresses, and affiliate identifiers.
Also despite hundreds of ransomware builds and aggressive ransom demands, only seven out of 246 victims were recorded as having made a payment. None showed confirmation of receiving a decryption tool.
