LockBit Dismantled, BlackCat Stole the Money, and RansomHub Filled the Vacuum — How Ransomware Rewired Itself in 2024

Operation Cronos crippled LockBit's infrastructure in February 2024, ALPHV/BlackCat imploded in a $22 million exit scam weeks later, and RansomHub absorbed the displaced affiliates to become 2024's most prolific ransomware operator. The takedowns didn't shrink the threat — they reshuffled it into something more volatile and harder to track.

NIST's Post-Quantum Standards Are Here. Your Infrastructure Isn't Ready.

NIST finalized three post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024, but the majority of TLS connections, VPNs, and certificate authorities still rely on RSA and elliptic curve algorithms that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer will render obsolete. Here's the migration timeline every security team needs to understand.

NIST's Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards Are Final — Here's the Migration Timeline Every Organization Needs to Know

NIST finalized its first post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024, giving organizations a concrete roadmap to replace RSA and elliptic-curve algorithms before cryptographically relevant quantum computers arrive. Here is a technical breakdown of the new algorithms, the real threat timeline, and a step-by-step migration checklist sized for organizations of every scale.
