Adversaries made a threat to the firm, stating that they would publish breached data by 7, Nov, 2022. In return they want ransom money by the deadline.
Damn! The deadline ended, and Lockbit exposed the breached data as the settlement wasn’t made from the Thales’ side.
Friday, Lockbit begun publishing sensitive data breached from Thales. Company tried to lower the stress of connected entities and said that the breach wouldn’t affect organizational operations.
It was the second time current year; Thales became victim of a cyberattack run by Lockbit Gang. First event happened Jan this year, even then the company refused to pay the ransom money. Hundreds of Zip Archives aired that time and the publisher was also Lockbit Gang. That attacked was happened on 1, Jan, 2022. Intercode codes were breached in that attack.
