according to Bitcoin.com, Lockbit ransomware developer Rostislav Panev has been extradited to the United States, currently detained and awaiting trial. According to charges from the U.S. Department of Justice, he has been working as a programmer for the software since 2022 and received around $230,000 worth of cryptocurrency transfers. With the servers being seized and associated parties confessing, Lockbit may face further crackdowns, but key figures such as organization leader Dmitry Khoroshev are still at large.
