Aerospace giant Boeing is investigating a cyberattack that impacted its parts and distribution business after the LockBit ransomware gang claimed that they breached the company's network and stole data.
The ransomware gang said on Friday that they allegedly breached Boeing's network and stole a significant amount of sensitive information that they would leak online five days later if the airplane maker didn't reach out before the deadline.
While Boeing has yet to confirm a leak between LockBit's claims and the incident that has affected some of its systems, the data leak page on the cybercrime operation's dark web site has now been removed.
"A tremendous amount of sensitive data was exfiltrated and ready to be published if Boeing do not contact within the deadline," the gang's message read before being removed.
