This is actually somewhat insane to me. I remember getting a sample from a friend, poking around at it in VMs, uploading it to VT... and being kinda dumb because wannacry was still on my mind at the time. I shoulda known better about the usage of the ETERNAL* exploits but meh, I've gotten a lot better about making assumptions.

I know it was first observed in Sept 2019, but I don't recall anyone really talking about it until about mid 2020 when the group started *really* making moves.

@ecksmc My theme on discord isn't helping my case much, because we for some reason decided to make the special intel channel role pure black, but seeing LockBit evolve from a small group to an absolute RaaS behemoth has been insane in a terrifying sorta way.

Enter my dumbass with 4+ years of hindsight:
