LockBit repeats ‘PR stunt’ as Thales ransomware investigation claims no breach

Posted on November 3, 2022 by Dissent

Rory Bathgate reports:

An investigation by Thales has found no evidence that the LockBit ransomware organistion successfully attacked its systems, following threats by the group to post stolen company data on hacker forums.

On Tuesday, the French multinational publicly stated that it had seen posts on the dark web by ransomware group LockBit 3.0, claiming to have stolen data from Thales and threatening to post it online on 7 November. The company quickly informed the Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d’information (ANSII), and began an internal investigation.

DataBreaches sent an inquiry to LockBit seeking a response, but none was immediately available. This post will be updated if LockBit does respond on Tox.
