Security News > 2022 > August > LockBit claims ransomware attack on security giant Entrust, leaks data
This post was originally published on August 18th. The LockBit ransomware gang has claimed responsibility for the June cyberattack on digital security giant Entrust.
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.
When ransomware gangs publish data on their data leak sites, they usually leak data over time to scare the victim into returning to the negotiation table.
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.
LockBit began leaking Entrust's data Friday evening, first sharing screenshots of some of the allegedly stolen data, with the threat actors saying they would leak further data later that evening.
Soon after they began leaking data, the ransomware gang's Tor data leak sites went offline, with the threat actors claiming that they are being DDoSed due to the Entrust attack.
