Equilend have a blog running for their LockBit ransomware incident.
They process several trillion dollars a month usually, they've been down for almost 5 days.
Comes off the back of LockBit encrypting ICBC, the world's largest bank. ICBC were able to recover quickly as they were running Novell Netware, and LockBit didn't have an encryption payload.

A prior employer of mine had a track record of the following:
1) zero day attack announced - management panics.
2) determine we're not vulnerable, as our stuff was wildly out-of-date.
3) strongly encourage we update anyway, as we're wildly out-of-date and there are known attacks - just not that particular zero-day
4) management has gone back to sleep, goto 1
