APT Iran Claims F-35 Data Theft: Unconfirmed, Exaggerated Breach?
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.
