"Missile Maker MBDA Refutes Hacking Allegations"

European missile maker MBDA has publicly denied allegations made on a dark web forum in July that the company was hacked.  The self-proclaimed hacking group who said they were behind the breach is "Andrastea."  Andrastea claimed to have obtained roughly 60 GB of data from MBDA and then put it for sale on the dark web after breaking into MBDA's systems.  According to Andrastea, the group obtained files describing military projects, alongside information related to commercial activities, contracts, and messages exchanged with other companies, among other things.  MBDA is refuting the alleged hacking of the company's information systems and has filed a report with the police of an attempt to blackmail the company.  The company has recently clarified that some files were stolen but stated that the company was not hacked and its security systems remain intact.  MBDA said that no hacking of the company's secure networks has occurred.  So far, the company's internal verification processes indicate that the data made available online are neither classified data nor sensitive.
