The agency also published a ransomware profile with additional information on the LockBit group, including initial access indicators, targeted sectors, and mitigation measures. The majority of victims known to the ACSC have been reported after July 2021, indicating a sharp and significant increase in domestic victims in comparison to other tracked ransomware variants, the agency said.
