Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, October 31 (Xinhua) Security company VX Underground recently discovered that the hacker team Lockbit posted an announcement on the Dark Web Forum, claiming that they had successfully hacked Boeing and obtained a large amount of internal information, threatening to release the relevant content if they did not get the ransom.

It is reported that the Lockbit team has given Boeing six days to contact it and will not disclose internal information before the deadline, but if Boeing does not take the initiative to contact, the hackers will release the relevant content publicly.

The Lockbit team said they hacked into Boeing using an undisclosed zero-day vulnerability, but did not disclose details of the vulnerability, while Boeing officials said they were reviewing and confirming LockBit's claims.

CTOnews.com Note: the LockBit team is currently the most rampant hacker organization in the world, providing a series of hacker services with "blackmail Software as a Service" (ransomware-as-a-service,RaaS). The group claims to have invaded more than 1600 organizations. Since 2020, victims in the United States alone have paid more than $90m (currently about 659 million yuan) in ransom.

In the middle of this year, the LockBit team hacked into TSMC, extorting $70 million (currently about 512 million yuan) and shutting down the container dispatching system at Nagoya Port, Japan's largest port, for a whole day.
