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.

@nikita ...und könnten wir auch noch Finanzen beantragen um die IT ausführlich sicher zu betreiben und nicht "nur" an M$ & Co. gebunden zu sein aber auch kein Open-Source Software NUR ausnehmen?! 🤨
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.
