The notorious hacking gang Lockbit has posted what it described as documents belonging to Boeing Co. on its website, two weeks after claiming credit for a cyberattack against the aircraft manufacturer.

LockBit recently posted the documents on the dark web after previously demanding a ransom payment by Nov. 2. Boeing said it’s aware of the data release and remains confident that the attack, which was first disclosed last month, “poses no threat to aircraft or flight safety.”
