Security News > 2022 > August > LockBit claims ransomware attack on security giant Entrust
The LockBit ransomware gang has claimed responsibility for the June cyberattack on digital security giant Entrust.
Last month, BleepingComputer broke the story that Entrust suffered a ransomware attack on June 18th, 2022.
While Entrust confirmed to BleepingComputer that they suffered a cyberattack and that data was stolen from internal systems, they would not confirm that it was a ransomware attack.
Today, security researcher Dominic Alvieri told BleepingComputer that LockBit had created a dedicated data leak page for Entrust on their website, stating that they would publish all of the stolen data tomorrow evening.
As LockBit states that they will publish all data, it indicates that Entrust has not negotiated with the ransomware operation or refuses to give in to their demands.
BleepingComputer has reached out to Entrust for further confirmation on the LockBit attack but has not heard back at this time.
