Any files that are encrypted with the original LockBit 3.0 (LockBit Black) ransomware (a spin-off from BlackMatter) will have TWO strings of random 7.random 9 character extensions appended to the end of the encrypted data file and typically will leave files (ransom notes) which include the same second string [random 9 characters].README.txt, [random 9 characters].bmp as part of its name as explained here (Figure 3) and here (Figure 10-11). These are some examples.

According to CISA CYBERSECURITY ADVISORY: non-LockBit affiliates were able to use LockBit 3.0 after its builder was leaked in Sep 2022. In December 2023 it was reported LockBit ransomware now poaching BlackCat, NoEscape affiliates.
Any files that are encrypted with LockBit 3.0 (Black) / CriptomanGizmo ransomware (used by affiliate or non-LockBit affiliates after its builder was leaked) will have a random 9 character alpha-numerical extension appended to the end of the encrypted data filename and typically will leave files (ransom notes) which include the same [random 9 character].README.txt as part of its name as explained here by Amigo-A (Andrew Ivanov).

Some CriptomanGizmo/LockBit 3.0 (Black) ransom notes are known to include a long string of hexadecimal characters comprising a Decryption ID similar to N3ww4v3/Mimic but without an asterisk (*) and extension after the ID numbers.

There is no known method to decrypt files encrypted by most LockBit 3 (Black) ransomware without paying the ransom (not advisable) and obtaining the private encryption keys from those who created the ransomware. However, rivitna has had some success obtaining the private keys for several LockBit 3 (Black) variants so he may be able to help some victims. A limited number of private keys were retrieved by rivitna after victims paid the ransom and uploaded those keys/decryptor to the public domain where he was able to access them.

~~~ Hello ****************** ~~~
All of your files are encrypted.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to decrypt files without decryption keys.
Do not rename files or use third-party decryptors - this can permanently change the files, in which case even we can't help you.
You can restore everything with a personal decryptor program, which you can buy from us by contacting
email:
help_havaneza@cryptolab.net
help_havaneza@bastardi.net
As proof of the presence of the decryption key, a file up to 4 MB in size and not being an archive or a database file can be decrypted for free.

>>>> Warning! Do not DELETE or MODIFY any files, it can lead to recovery problems!
>>>> Warning! If you do not pay the ransom we will attack your company repeatedly again!
