Operation Cronos: the masterstroke of the cyber gendarmes to take the LockBit 3 hackers offline. A relief for the 240 French victims listed as the Corbeil-Essonnes hospital, Nuxe or several departmental councils.
Led by the British Crime Agency (NCA), the action resulted in 34 servers in Europe, Australia and the United States being taken offline on Monday February 19. Two pairs of soldiers assisted their Polish and Ukrainian counterparts in the identification and arrest of key people: the group's financiers.
