United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom have jointly sanctioned Zservers, a Russia-based bulletproof hosting (BPH) services provider, and its two Russian operators, for their roles in supporting LockBit ransomware attacks.
LockBit, a Russia-based ransomware group best known for its ransomware variant of the same name, is one of the most deployed ransomware variants. It was responsible for the November 2023 attack against the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Financial Services, which operates as a U.S. broker-dealer. As a BPH service provider, Zservers provided cyber-criminals access to specialized servers and other computer infrastructure designed to resist law enforcement action. Zservers is headquartered in Barnaul, Russia.
