Darktrace Denies Getting Hacked After Ransomware Group Names Company on Leak Site

Cybersecurity company Darktrace issued a statement on Thursday after it was named on the leak website of the LockBit ransomware group. “Earlier this morning we became aware of tweets from LockBit, the cyber-criminal gang, claiming that they had compromised Darktrace’s internal security systems and had accessed our data. Our security teams have run a full review of our internal systems and can see no evidence of compromise,” Darktrace said. “None of the LockBit social media posts link to any compromised Darktrace data. We will continue to monitor the situation extremely closely, but based on our current investigations we are confident that our systems remain secure and all customer data is fully protected,” it added. The statement was issued after a post on LockBit’s leak website seemed to suggest that the ransomware group had targeted Darktrace. The post suggested that data was stolen from Darktrace and that the cybercriminals were asking for a $1 million ransom.
