After LockBit and BlackCat, Is Cl0p Really Next in Line?

Press conference says ‘mission accomplished.’ The forecast model says ‘…you sure about that?’

Press conference says ‘mission accomplished.’ The forecast model says ‘…you sure about that?’

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”? 🔐🎭📉
