Boeing data published by Lockbit hacking gang
LONDON (Reuters) -Internal data from Boeing, one of the world's largest defence and space contractors, was published online on Friday by Lockbit, a cybercrime gang which extorts its victims by stealing and releasing data unless a ransom is paid. The hackers in October said they had obtained "a tremendous amount" of sensitive data from the aerospace giant and would dump it online if Boeing didn't pay a ransom by Nov. 2. According to a post on Lockbit's website, the data from Boeing was published in the early hours of Friday morning.
