LockBit, the infamous ransomware group, has admitted to being behind a cyber assault on India’s state-owned aerospace research laboratory. Additionally, during the month of July, LockBit’s dark web leaked data of Granules, an Indian pharmaceutical company, as one of its latest targets in a cyber attack. On Wednesday, LockBit put the National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) on its dark web leak site, where ransomware groups usually try to get money from their victims. They threatened to share the organization’s stolen information unless they paid an unknown amount, according to what
TechCrunch found. After asserting responsibility for the cyberattack on the National Aerospace Laboratories and posting the claim on the dark web, the hacker collective has presented a daunting ultimatum. They set a deadline of December 18, 2023, at 18:58:48 UTC, emphasizing that if their demands are not met, they will expose the compromised data. In an unexpected departure from their usual approach, LockBit has chosen not to reveal any mitigation plans this time. Typically, they would outline a ransom, often starting at $10,000, to secure a 24-hour extension to the deadline.As of the time this information is being shared, the National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) website is currently inaccessible globally.
