LockBit says they stole data in London Drugs ransomware attack
the LockBit ransomware gang claimed they were behind the April cyberattack on Canadian pharmacy chain London Drugs and is now threatening to publish stolen data online after allegedly failed negotiations
A couple of days ago, LockBit had published an entry on their leaksite titled "telekom.com". I asked the Telekom press corps and they denied any incident.
Yesterday, LB also published the data allegedy from Telekom. I had a look at the files. So far, it seems that nothing in the 1.2GByte directory on their file share has anything to do with Deutsche Telekom. It seems that in fact, they breached a client PC owned by a non-profit in Hamburg.

The kingpin of the LockBit ransomware is named and sanctioned, a cybersecurity consultant is charged with a $1.5 million extortion, and a romance fraudster defrauded women he met on Tinder of £80,000.
All this and much much more is discussed in the latest edition of the @smashingsecurity podcast with yours truly and Carole Theriault, joined this week by “Ransomware Sommelier” Allan Liska.
The D.C. Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking #DISB said recent #LockBit data theft claims were related to an attack on third-party software provider Tyler Technologies
📢 Days after its takedown, the #LockBit ransomware has announced its return with threats of more aggressive attacks, along with a lengthy message and taunts directed at the #FBI.
My "big picture" take on the LockBit disruption this week is now live. We are seeing more frequent law enforcement action against all sorts of cybercrime groups and I think we need to step back and take stock of what is working and what isn't so we put our energies where they are likely to achieve the best outcomes.
