About the Krybit group

Krybit is an emerging RaaS group that launched in late March 2026, offering affiliates an 80/20 revenue split with support for Windows, Linux, ESXi, and NAS device encryption, and became notable for a public feud with rival group 0APT in which each breached and leaked the other's operator data. Krybit has listed 162 victims since March 2026.

Incident analysis

lkc.ac.bw is based in Botswana and operates in the Education sector. Botswana ranks #108 worldwide for ransomware disclosures, with 6 victims in this database.

Sector context. Educational institutions often have under-resourced IT security teams and hold large amounts of student and faculty personal data, making them attractive targets for ransomware groups.

Krybit typically follows a double extortion model: data is exfiltrated from the victim's systems before files are encrypted, so the victim faces two demands at once — pay to restore access, and pay to keep stolen data unpublished. The leak site, where this listing appeared, is the lever for the second demand.

Source. Public leak-site disclosures aggregated via the ransomware.live API. The disclosure date is when the listing was published, which can differ from the date of compromise. This site does not publish or link to stolen data. Last updated .
