The Clop ransomware gang claims to have stolen documents from aerospace giant Bombardier's defense division - and has leaked what appears to be a CAD drawing of one of its military aircraft products, raising fears over what else they've got.

Bombardier confirmed its security had been breached, putting out a public statement only minutes after The Register grilled the Canadian business jet maker on the Clop gang's claims.

Pictures dumped online by Clop, and seen by The Register, showed a CAD rendering of a Bombardier GlobalEye aircraft, a Global 6000 business jet converted to carry a distinctive Saab Erieye plank-style radar mounted on top of its fuselage.

Experts, almost all of whom spoke to us on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, drew different conclusions about the radar equipment in the picture leaked by Clop.

Clop has made a habit of targeting high-profile companies for its ransomware extortion activities, which consist of infiltrating a businesses' networks, exfiltrating and encrypting files, and then demanding payment to not only decrypt and restore the scrambled data but also to not publicly release the sensitive purloined materials.

Brett Callow of infosec firm Emsisoft told The Register that while Clop is bragging about the intrusion, it may not have been the ransomware gang itself that broke into the corporations.
