LockBit got the full “Operation Cronos” treatment. BlackCat was “disrupted” into the void. Meanwhile Cl0p casually logged the biggest leak-site month on record in early 2025 and is still spraying victims like it’s a business model, not a crime.
In this week’s AlphaHunt forecast, we stop doomscrolling and put numbers on the uncomfortable question: by 31 Dec 2026, do we actually see a real US/EU-style coalition that keeps Cl0p’s core leak/C2 infrastructure dark for 90+ days and drives an 80%+ drop in posted victims—or just another victory-lap presser while a rebrand spins up?
If LockBit and BlackCat are the template, what’s your base rate: “we finally break the franchise”… or “same crew, new logo”? 🔐🎭📉
