60K BTC Wallets Tied to LockBit Ransomware Gang Leaked in Hacker Revenge

The post 60K BTC Wallets Tied to LockBit Ransomware Gang Leaked in Hacker Revenge appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News “Don’t do crime. CRIME IS BAD. xoxo from Prague.” That’s the message left behind after hackers gave LockBit – a ransomware gang known for extorting millions. Yes, they just got a brutal taste of their own medicine. In a surprising breach, nearly 60,000 Bitcoin wallet addresses tied to LockBit’s operations were leaked online. How serious is it? Let’s explore together. Hackers Hit the Hackers The attackers broke into LockBit’s dark web affiliate panel and dumped a full MySQL database for the world to see. Inside? Thousands of ransomware builds, private negotiation chats, and crypto wallet addresses used in past attacks. One LockBit member tried to downplay the situation, saying no private keys were leaked. But analysts aren’t convinced. The leaked wallets match up with the group’s known patterns, and the data is already being picked apart by blockchain investigators. Wallet Leak Could Unravel Ransom Trails LockBit assigns a unique Bitcoin address to every victim. That makes it hard to trace payments – but with 60,000 addresses now public, investigators have a rare shot at connecting the dots. No private keys were shared, but even the wallet info alone could expose years of financial activity. Talk about justice being served! Crypto Crime Is Heating Up This is concerning, though. Just last month, CertiK reported $364 million lost to crypto hacks , scams, and exploits – a huge jump from $28.8 million in March. Immunefi also flagged April as one of the worst months for security breaches so far this year. And then there’s North Korea. According to Chainalysis, state-backed hackers stole over $1.3 billion in crypto in 2024, including a $1.4 billion Bybit hack. The situation’s gotten so serious, G7 leaders are expected to bring it up at their summit in Canada next month. Wake Up Call for Governments The U.S. Treasury is stepping in too. It’s hosting private roundtables with top crypto players next week, focusing on DeFi, cybersecurity, and banking. These are important talks to shape the next phase of U.S. crypto regulation.
