In an unprecedented demonstration of international cooperation and cyber resilience, law enforcement agencies from the U.S., U.K., and other global partners have successfully orchestrated the takedown of LockBit, one of the most notorious ransomware groups to date. This landmark operation marks a pivotal moment in the fight against cybercrime, showcasing the potential of concerted governmental efforts to combat digital threats effectively.

Join our webinar to dive into the intricate details of the LockBit disruption, the strategies employed by international law enforcement, and the broader implications for cybersecurity across the globe. We will explore how this operation diverges from past efforts, emphasizing the critical shift towards targeting the core operators and infrastructure of ransomware groups rather than just their affiliates. We will discuss the groundbreaking achievements of this collaboration, including the seizure of critical infrastructure, legal actions against operators, and the provision of decryption keys to victims, highlighting the operation's role in paving the way for more resilient cyber defense mechanisms.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand the significance of the LockBit takedown in the context of global cybersecurity efforts.
• Learn about the strategies and tools employed by international law enforcement to disrupt one of the world's most prolific ransomware gangs.
• Explore the implications of this operation for future cybercrime prevention and the importance of international cooperation.
• Discover the role of legal and technical interventions in achieving long-term impacts on cybercriminal operations.
• Discuss the evolving landscape of cyber threats and the continuous need for innovation in cybersecurity defense mechanisms.

LockBit Takedown and Aftermath

This video will show you how easy it is to migrate live running Linux server from VMware ESX to Exoscale Cloud. 

We're using Carbonite Migrate to make a real time copy of a live Ubuntu 20.04.6 virtual machine currently running on a VMware ESX and replicating it to a virtual machine we have previously provisioned in Exoscale Cloud. A video showing how to install and configure the target virtual machine can be found here: https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/18665/609766?bt_tok={{lead.Id}}&utm_source=OpenTextCybersecurityEMEA&utm_medium=brighttalk&utm_campaign=609766

Downtime is kept to the absolute minimum. Installation, configuration and the mirroring (synchronisation) of the server, it's configuration, applications and data, all take place while the source ESX virtual machine remains live, and it's only for the last couple of minutes at the end, when the ESX source server is shutdown and the new Exoscale server is started up, which typically takes less than 2 minutes.

The same type of migration could be performed for other Linux Environments (Red Hat, CentOS, SUSE, Oracle Enterprise Linux, Rocky)  or Windows (2003, 2008, 2008R2, 2012, 2012R2, 2016, 2019, 2022). These servers could be physical, virtual or cloud, and they could be running pretty much any application.

This video will show you how easy it is to migrate live running Windows server from VMware ESX to IONOS Cloud. 

We're using Carbonite Migrate to make a real time copy of a live Windows 2019 virtual machine currently running on a VMware ESX and replicating it to a virtual machine we have previously provisioned in IONOS Cloud. 

Downtime is kept to the absolute minimum. Installation, configuration and the mirroring (synchronisation) of the server, it's configuration, applications and data, all take place while the source ESX virtual machine remains live, and it's only for the last couple of minutes at the end, when the ESX source server is shutdown and the new IONOS server is started up, which typically takes 10 to 15 minutes.

The same type of migration could be performed for other Windows versions (2003, 2008, 2008R2, 2012, 2012R2, 2016, 2019, 2022) and there is a very similar workflow available for Linux Environments (Red Hat, CentOS, SUSE, Oracle Enterprise Linux, Rocky). These servers could be physical, virtual or cloud, and they could be running pretty much any application.

Migrating Windows VMware ESX to IONOS Cloud

Carbonite Migrate can be used to migrate live physical, virtual or cloud servers to the same or different platforms. In order to migrate live open files, a small agent needs to be installed and configured on the source (current production server) and the target (new destination server). 

This video shows how to install and configure the Carbonite replication agent on Ubuntu Linux. The same steps can be used on any physical or ubuntu server, however the process to install on Red Hat, Oracle Enterprise Linux, SUSE, CentOS and Rocky would be very similar.

We'll show how easy it is to provision a suitable target server in Exoscale Cloud, as we will be creating a follow on video showing how to migrate Linux servers from VMware ESX to Exoscale. The process for Windows servers would be very similar, and I have already posted a video showing Full Server migration of a Windows 2019 server from Microsoft Azure to Exoscale Cloud.

• Learn essential tips for protecting your business with a multi-layered approach.

Tis the Season: Safeguarding Your Business in the Cyber Wonderland

The past year has seen a steady increase in the number and sophistication of malware attacks. Ransomware has been the most prevalent type of malware, with cybercriminals increasingly targeting businesses and organizations. Criminal actors in the Ransomware sector have come up with new “business models” and ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) is dominating. Ransom payments have reached all time sky-high levels. Elite Ransomware authors appear to have concluded that profit sharing and risk mitigation are top contributors to their consistent success and reliable evasion from authorities. Malware payloads are becoming more sophisticated and difficult to detect, and we expect their tactics to be ever evolving.
