Boeing confirms attempted $200 million ransomware extortion attempt

The cybercriminals who targeted Boeing using the LockBit ransomware platform in October 2023 demanded a $200 million extortion payment.

Boeing reportedly did not pay any ransom to LockBit after roughly 43 gigabytes of company data was posted to LockBit’s website in early November.
