Cybersecurity veteran Jon DiMaggio pulls back the curtain on his two-year undercover operation infiltrating LockBit, one of the world’s most notorious ransomware gangs. What began as an intelligence mission soon became a psychological chess match with the group’s egotistical leader—culminating in a staged $10 million extortion plot that helped cripple the criminal empire.

DiMaggio shares how intelligence gathering, digital analysis and psychological strategy took down one of the world’s most dangerous hacking organizations.
