     Equilend have a blog running for their LockBit ransomware incident.

     They process several trillion dollars a month usually, they've been down for almost 5 days.

     Comes off the back of LockBit encrypting ICBC, the world's largest bank. ICBC were able to recover quickly as they were running Novell Netware, and LockBit didn't have an encryption payload.

     @GossiTheDog exqueeze me, baking powder, did you say “ICBC were running novell netware” …

     … I. Wow. I legitimately guffawed out loud. Thank you, sir. You have made my day. 💖

     @GossiTheDog @metlstorm I'm surprised this was effective considering many more ransomware crews are doing "remote ransomware", effectively running the encryption on an unprotected device and connecting to the shares over the network. Would work against Netware shares as well as anything else...

     Almost a week into their ransomware incident, Equilend are still trying to restore service - nothing has returned yet. #threatintel

     Of note with the Equilend incident, they never appeared on the LockBit portal. I confirmed with LockBit that they hit them.. so likely Equilend paid, same as ICBC and Ion Trading did.

     Who runs the world? Ransomware groups.

     @GossiTheDog I can't help but wonder why #tietoevry never ended up on Akira's "news" list either. Maybe Akira didn't fully succeed, or something else hasn't been revealed yet.

     @GossiTheDog Plenty more victims now... guess this has done nothing but embolded him/them and I guess we can expect more eager affiliates to join the ranks for LockBit. Given the absolutely phenomenally massive marketing campaign that was provided to them for free.

     I thought this would end-up with lockbitsup in jail, but if this is not going to be the case.

     The fallout will be bad... really bad me thinks.
