So, they finally figured out who’s behind LockBit... Dmitry Khoroshev aka 'LockBitSupp'. Took them long enough, right? I mean, how many months was it? Now there are even pictures of him. Wonder if anyone will turn him in for that bounty.

Totally agree. Just a matter of time before someone spills the beans for that huge reward. History shows that traitors pop up when the money's right. He better be careful or he might just be hiding in Russia where no one can touch him.

I saw his photo too and thought... ‘Another Russian hacker?’ So cliche. But seriously, offering $10 million for info and now he’s exposed? Who's gonna claim that cash?

LockBit has wrecked so many lives. Good on the agencies for catching this guy. It’s a big step in crippling his operations and his gang. But he’s probably got a backup plan, still trying to figure out how to get around this.

If they know who he is, they probably know where he is too. Sanctions are a big deal. I doubt he’s chilling in the US. He’s better off in Russia, but then again, his investments might be in trouble... This is a tricky game.

He’s Russian, so I doubt he’s sweating it. Unless he leaves Russia, he’s practically untouchable. Plus, word is he might even have connections with the government. US trying to get to him? Good luck.

I disagree. Just because he’s hiding doesn't mean he’s safe. Secret services won’t just ignore him. And c’mon, that $10 million bounty will have a lot of people chasing him down.

You sound like you underestimate how things work in Russia. Trust me, they don’t hire amateurs. If you have money, your problems get handled differently. Just look at how it all plays out there.
