Hacking group publishes data alleged stolen from Boeing, Reuters reports

The cybercrime gang Lockbit said in October that they had obtained “a tremendous amount” of sensitive data from aerospace giant Boeing and would dump it online if the company did not pay a ransom by November 2 and the hackers published internal data alleged to have been stolen from Boeing on Friday, reported Reuters. In a statement to Reuters, Boeing confirmed that “elements” of the company’s parts and distribution business had experienced a cybersecurity incident. “We are aware that, in connection with this incident, a criminal ransomware actor has released information it alleges to have taken from our systems. We continue to investigate the incident and will remain in contact with law enforcement, regulatory authorities, and potentially impacted parties, as appropriate,” Boeing is quoted by Reuters as having said.
