US, UK crack down on Russian bulletproof hosting service ZServers for LockBit partnership

• The US, UK, and Australia, placed sanctions on ZServers and five individuals
• They are all being linked to the infamous LockBit RaaS
• Businesses in these countries are not allowed to transact with ZServers or its employees

Russia-based bulletproof hosting services provider (BPH) ZServers has been sanctioned by the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom for its alleged involvement with the LockBit ransomware group.

In a press release, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said ZServers was providing services to threat actors responsible for the Medibank Private breach that happened in October 2022. As a result, millions of Medibank’s customers have had their sensitive data stolen.
