Security News > 2023 > November > LockBit ransomware leaks gigabytes of Boeing data
The LockBit ransomware gang published data stolen from Boeing, one of the largest aerospace companies that services commercial airplanes and defense systems.
LockBit hackers said that Boeing ignored warnings that data would become publicly available and threatened to publish a sample of about 4GB of the most recent files.
LockBit ransomware has leaked more than 43GB of files from Boeing after the company refused to pay a ransom.
On November 10, LockBit released on their site all the data they had from Boeing.
Backups from Citrix appliances are also listed, which sparked speculation about LockBit ransomware using the recently disclosed Citrix Bleed vulnerability, for which proof-of-concept exploit code was published on October 24.
Boeing confirms cyberattack amid LockBit ransomware claims.
