Taking Down LockBit: Infiltrating the World’s Most Notorious Ransomware Gang

Going undercover is typically associated with busting organized crime on the streets. But what happens when the mission is online and deep inside one of the world’s most dangerous ransomware gangs? Cybersecurity veteran Jon DiMaggio pulled back the curtain on his two-year undercover operation infiltrating LockBit during his presentation at The Mob Museum on Aug.7, 2025. What began as an intelligence-gathering mission turned into a high-stakes psychological chess match with the group’s leader. The result: A staged $10 million extortion plot that played a key role in dismantling a global criminal enterprise. In this talk, Jon revealed the human side of cybercrime, the mental toll of going deep undercover, and how a mix of intelligence, digital forensics and psychological strategy helped dismantle one of the most feared hacking organizations on the planet.
