About the Lockbit5 group

LockBit 5.0 ("ChuongDong") emerged in September 2025 as the group's resurgence following the February 2024 law enforcement takedown, introducing cross-platform payloads targeting Windows, Linux, and VMware ESXi with enhanced evasion capabilities and continuing the RaaS affiliate model of its predecessors. Lockbit5 has listed 374 victims since April 2023.

The leak site, where this listing appeared, is the lever for the second demand.
