The data of global commercial jetliner manufacturer Boeing, which faced a cyberattack last month, is now being leaked by the ransomware gang LockBit. The leaked information includes 50 gigabytes of sensitive company data, such as data of engine part suppliers, technical operators, the company's financial and marketing data and strategies.

LockBit has published the data on their dark web blog and mentioned that Boeing had ignored the gang's deadlines to pay and that more data would be leaked.

Per the Register, Lockbit had removed Boeing from its leaks site at one point and told the malware librarians at VX Underground that it was negotiating with the company. However, Boeing is now back on the list, and its data is being leaked.

Boeing has stated that the company 'aware of a cyber incident impacting elements of our parts and distribution business' and that 'This issue does not affect flight safety. We are actively investigating the incident and coordinating with law enforcement and regulatory authorities. We are notifying our customers and suppliers.'
