The LockBit ransomware group has targeted newly appointed FBI Director Kash Patel with an alleged "birthday gift" consisting of leaked classified documents. LockBitSupp, the group's alleged leader, posted a message on February 25, 2025, mocking Patel and claiming the group possesses sensitive data that could "destroy" the FBI. This incident raises serious cybersecurity concerns about potential data breaches targeting high-profile individuals and agencies.
The post, found on LockBit's dark leak blog, describes an "archive of classified information" containing over 250 folders of materials dating back to May 29, 2024. This stolen data is presented as a "guide, roadmap, and some friendly advice" to the new FBI Director. The ransomware cartel's actions represent a bold threat, highlighting the increasing sophistication and audacity of cybercriminals targeting government entities and their leadership.
