LockBit Claims Hack of US Federal Reserve, Demands $50,000 Ransom for 33TB Data by June 25th
Jun 24, 2024, 04:32 PM
The LockBit ransomware group has claimed responsibility for hacking the US Federal Reserve, asserting that they have exfiltrated 33 terabytes of data. The group has reportedly demanded a ransom of $50,000, which they claim was laughed at by the hackers. They have given a 48-hour deadline, threatening to release the data if their demands are not met. The Federal Reserve's website is currently down, and there are doubts among cybersecurity experts regarding the veracity of LockBit's claims. If true, this breach, which is set to culminate on June 25th, could have significant implications for the Federal Reserve's operations and security. Some experts suggest that if the claims are true, it would be a DEFCON 2 situation, potentially prompting a drone strike.
