"Ransomware Group Leaks Files Allegedly Stolen From Boeing"

The notorious LockBit ransomware group has recently leaked gigabytes of files allegedly stolen from the systems of aerospace giant Boeing.  LockBit recently named Boeing on its leak website, claiming that “a tremendous amount of sensitive data” has been stolen.  However, it later removed the company from its site, saying that negotiations had started.  It has since been readded to the LockBit website, indicating that Boeing might have refused to pay the ransom.  Over 40 gigabytes worth of archive and backup files are available for download.  Boeing has confirmed that a cyberattack has hit parts of its distribution business.  The company has reiterated that the cyber incident does not pose a threat to aircraft or flight safety.  Security researchers at MalwareHunterTeam noted that many of the files appear to be associated with Aviall, a Boeing-owned aviation and aerospace component manufacturing company.  Boeing acquired Aviall in 2006 and announced plans to retire the brand in 2020.
