American aviation and aerospace giant Boeing is investigating a cyber attack claimed by the Russian LockBit ransomware group
On October 27, 2023, the cybercrime gang added Boeing to the growing list of compromised companies, giving it six days to pay the ransom or have its stolen data leaked online.
“We are aware of a cyber incident impacting elements of our parts and distribution business. This issue does not affect flight safety,” a Boeing spokesperson said, adding that the company was “assessing this claim” by LockBit.
