ION Group declined to comment on the statement. Lockbit communicated the claim to Reuters via its online chat account on Friday, February 3, but said there was “no way” it would offer details. The FBI did not immediately reply to a request for comment. “When a victim is delisted, it most commonly means either that the victim has agreed to enter negotiations or that it has paid,” said ransomware expert Brett Callow of New Zealand-based cybersecurity company Emsisoft.
