Boeing Says It’s Assessing Data Dump Threat From Cyber Gang

Boeing Co. said it is assessing a threat by a cyber gang with Russian ties that claimed it would start releasing “sensitive data” if the aerospace and defense giant doesn’t pay a ransom demand by Nov. 2.

In a post on its dark web page, the group Lockbit posted a countdown clock for Boeing and claimed it held a “tremendous amount” of sensitive material that it was prepared to publish once the deadline passed.
