Boeing apparently did not pay the ransom, and LockBit released all of the data, about 50GB of data, saying the request was denied. According to Cybernews, which investigated the data, the majority of the data appears to be various backups.
Specifically, the company's training materials, a list of technology suppliers including their names, locations, and phone numbers, a strategy document issued in 2018, Boeing's projections for pilot needs through 2027, and sales. Financial details with high or poor quality costs, folders named ``Hazardous Waste'' and ``Rotorcraft.''
A researcher who reviewed the data noted that ``the data is extremely general and appears to be highly sensitive but not important.''
In response to the data breach, Boeing said: 'We believe this incident does not pose a threat to aircraft or flight safety. We are actively investigating the incident and working with law enforcement and regulatory authorities.' said.
The LockBit group is a Russian-based hacker group that first appeared at the end of 2019. Since then, it has been implicated in the system breaches of major Chinese bank ICBC and the Port of Nagoya , and is said to have carried out more than 1,400 attacks on victims around the world.
LockBit itself has suffered cyberattacks in the past, and it is known that in August 2022, it was forced to temporarily close its site due to a DDoS attack.
