  Thanks for sharing. I'm one of the co-authors of the blog post. Let me know if you have any questions!

  tl;dr: We analyzed a LockBit v3 variant, and rediscovered a bug that allows us to decrypt some data without paying the ransom. We also found a design flaw that may cause permanent data loss. Nothing's earth-shattering, but it should be a fun read if you're into crypto and security!

  I saw there is a decryption tools with the RSA decryption key.

  How did they got those keys?
