At least two people have been arrested in a major international police operation against a gang that took computer systems hostage with the malicious software LockBit. The arrests happened in Poland and Ukraine. A total of 34 cyber criminals' servers have been taken down in the Netherlands, the United States, Germany, Great Britain, France, Finland, Switzerland and Australia.
