LockBit Ransomware Exposes Gigabytes of Stolen Boeing Data

The LockBit ransomware gang has leaked over 43GB of data stolen from Boeing after the aerospace company refused to pay a ransom. The leaked data includes backups for various systems, with the most recent files dated October 22. LockBit had previously warned Boeing about the data becoming public and threatened to release a sample if the company did not engage in negotiations. The ransomware gang eventually followed through on their threat and published all the stolen data on November 10. LockBit is a long-standing ransomware-as-a-service operation that has targeted numerous organizations globally, extorting approximately $91 million since 2020.
