LockBit ransomware gang announced to have hacked the German multinational automotive parts manufacturing company Continental. The group added the name of the company to its Tor leak site and is threatening to publish alleged stolen data if the victim will not pay the ransom.
The cybercriminals have fixed the deadline on November 4, 2022, at 15:45:36 UTC. At this time the group announced that it will publish all available data, a circumstance that suggests the victim has yet to negotiate with the criminals or it has refused to pay the ransom. At this time, it is not clear if the Lockbit 3.0 ransomware group is responsible for the attack that Continental disclosed on August 24, 2022.
