This is the best summary I could come up with:
The LockBit crew is claiming to have leaked all of the data it stole from Boeing late last month, after the passenger jet giant apparently refused to pay the ransom demand.
The full release comes after the extortionists uploaded some files said to be related to company finances and marketing activities as well as supplier details.
Neither data dump has been verified by The Register, and Boeing declined to answer specific questions about the incident or the stolen files.
LockBit first listed the aircraft giant on its dark-web site on October 28, and on November 2 Boeing confirmed to The Register it had suffered an IT intrusion.
By then, however, the ransomware crew had removed Boeing from its leaks site and told the malware librarians at VX Underground that it was negotiating with the US corporation.
Also this week, China's largest bank, ICBC, was hit by a ransomware attack that disrupted financial services systems on Thursday Beijing time.
