Security News > 2023 > October > LockBit alleges it boarded Boeing, stole 'sensitive data'

"Security In Brief Notorious ransomware gang LockBit has reportedly exfiltrated"a tremendous amount of sensitive data from aerospace outfit Boeing.

VX underground published a screenshot of Lockbit's announcement, and threat to expose data if Boeing does not engage with it by November 2nd. Boeing has told US media it is investigating Lockbit's claims.

If Lockbit has indeed stolen Boeing data the repercussions could be enormous as the company does plenty of work for military clients, and is even building the new pair of heavily-modified 747-8 planes that will serve as the next Air Force One US presidential transports.

"We are assessing this claim", Boeing told The Register.

According to DataBreaches, extensive data from the district was published on a file sharing site this week, but has since been taken down.

Along with personal email and demographic data on 25k district graduates, disciplinary records, health data, internal communications, district financial information and other data was all reportedly part of the leak, some of which DataBreaches was able to verify.
