The group known as LockBit has reportedly hacked the US Federal Reserve and is threatening to expose '33 terabytes of juicy banking information' if their ransom demands are not met by a specific deadline.
The Director of Security Intelligence at TrustedSec mentioned the potential influence of Russian intelligence agencies in leaking tampered data during an election year to instigate fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
LockBit has allegedly refused a $50,000 offer as ransom, and the Federal Reserve has not commented on the cyberattack on their systems.
LockBit shared information on the dark web indicating the Federal Reserve as its latest victim, potentially causing significant implications given the nature of the sensitive data at stake.
