## Resource

Operation Cronos took the cybersecurity world by storm as law enforcement disrupted one of the most prolific ransomware gangs in the world. Now the dust has settled it’s time for a first assessment of the takedown’s impact on the LockBit ransomware group. In this episode, the Infosecurity Magazine team goes behind the scenes of the law enforcement operation with Prodaft, a threat intelligence company that collaborated with the FBI, the NCA, and Europol to take down the group’s infrastructure. We also dissected the operation’s impact on LockBit’s activity and explored what the future holds for this notorious cybercriminal organization, with great insights from RedSense, another threat intelligence firm that spent three years investigating the group. You will hear from: -Koryak Uzan, co-founder of Prodaft (6.52) -Marley Smith, principal threat researcher at RedSense and Yelisey Bohuslavskyi, RedSense co-founder (31.36)
