Quote:The LockBit ransomware gang has apparently struck again, having purportedly stolen 103GB worth of files from Bangkok Airways and promising to release them tomorrow, on Tuesday.
A Dark Web intelligence firm calling itself DarkTracer (apparently a separate intel firm than the better-known DarkTrace) tweeted a screen capture of a countdown clock from LockBit 2.0 that, as of Friday, showed four and a half days left. “LockBit ransomware gang has announced Bangkok Airways on the victim list,” DarkTracer tweeted. “It announced that 103GB of compressed files will be released.”
A day earlier, on Thursday, Bangkok Airways publicly acknowledged that it had been blasted with a cyberattack a week ago, on Monday, Aug. 23. It’s still investigating the incident “as a matter of urgency,” the company said in a press release, and is working on beefing up its defenses.
Quote:“Upon such discovery, the company immediately took action to investigate and contain the event, with the assistance of a cybersecurity team. Currently, the company is investigating, as a matter of urgency, to verify the compromised data and the affected passengers as well as taking relevant measures to strengthen its IT system.” —Bangkok Airways press release
