FBI Issues warning to be on the lookout for Lockbit 2.0 IoCs

The FBI has issued a flash report detailing Lockbit 2.0 Ransomware-as-a-Service tactics along with a growing list of Indicators of Compromise. The threat actors utilize multiple avenues to gain access to the victim’s network, then deploy tools to elevate privileges, exfiltrate the victim’s data, and execute the LockBit encryption malware. The attack is followed up with demands to pay the ransom or have the stolen data published on the internet.

Lockbit 2.0 is now upgraded to utilize Active Directory group policy to auto-encrypt domain connected devices, as well as abuse vulnerabilities in VMWare ESXi virtual machines.
