Only a few days after it was claimed that the ransomware group LockBit had stolen confidential information from the aerospace defence contractor, Boeing has confirmed a cyber incident.
Boeing informed The Register, “We are aware of a cyber incident impacting elements of our parts and distribution business.” The business further stated that it is looking into the event and working with authorities, and that it had no impact on flight safety.
The spokesman said, “We are informing our suppliers and customers.”
The company’s website for components and distribution was “down due to technical issues” at the time of writing.
