They also can pay to extend the deadline for paying the ransom by another day.<\/p>\n<p>The notice on LockBit&#8217;s dark web site says the Italian tax agency was attacked by LockBit 3.0.<\/p>\n<p>Digital Shadows said the release of LockBit 3.0 could juice ransomware activity in Q3.

The cybersecurity vendor said that in Q2, there were 705 organizations listed on the ransomware data-leak sites, a 21.1 percent increase over the first quarter. This was due to greater activity by many ransomware groups, including LockBit, which had a 13.8 percent quarter-over-quarter increase. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
