After Bangkok Airways disclosed that it had been clobbered by a cyberattack last week, the LockBit 2.0 ransomware gang tossed its own countdown clock in the trash and went ahead and published what it claims are the airline's encrypted files on its leak site. That's three days earlier than its original countdown clock: In that post, the ransomware-as-a-service gang promised that encrypted files would be published yesterday if the airline didn't pay the ransom.
The announcement came after the LockBit ransomware gang had posted a message on their leak site claiming the breach and threatening to publish stolen data unless the ransom was paid. LockBit is the same hacker group that breached Accenture global IT consultancy giant and demanded a $50 million payment to stop the leak of allegedly 6TB of stolen data.
Bangkok Airways has revealed it was the victim of a cyberattack from ransomware group LockBit on August 23rd, resulting in the publishing of stolen data. Bangkok Airways' announcement about the matter came last Thursday, a day after LockBit posted a message on its dark web portal threatening the airline to pay a ransom or suffer a data leak.
The LockBit ransomware gang has apparently struck again, having purportedly stolen 103GB worth of files from Bangkok Airways and promising to release them tomorrow, on Tuesday. "LockBit ransomware gang has announced Bangkok Airways on the victim list," DarkTracer tweeted.
