A significant cybersecurity incident has reportedly affected Lockheed Martin, with hackers believed to have exfiltrated over 375 terabytes of data. This breach, attributed to APT Iran, is potentially one of the most significant cyber espionage incidents involving a defense contractor, with claims that blueprints for the F-35 fighter jet may have been compromised. The attackers are reportedly pressuring Lockheed Martin for a swift negotiation, threatening to sell the sensitive data to U.S. adversaries if their demands, potentially as high as $600 million, are not met.

The whistleblower provided forensic evidence and alleges DOGE employed tactics resembling those of foreign hackers, raising serious national security concerns. These accusations are not isolated, with multiple reports suggesting widespread data exfiltration by DOGE across various agencies. The situation is further complicated by Elon Musk’s dual roles in government and at companies under NLRB investigation.

The sheer volume of data stolen is alarming. The claim that approximately 10 gigabytes of data were removed from the NLRB’s network is highly unusual, given the rarity of direct data exfiltration from their databases.… Continue reading
