Everest ransomware claims it stole Boeing code from FlyDubai breach
The gang says it obtained 4.36GB of data, including Java source code tied to Boeing’s Performance Engineers Tool and records for 2,862 employees.
Insurance Business reports that the Everest ransomware gang is claiming it exfiltrated Boeing proprietary source code through a breach of UAE carrier FlyDubai, a development that could broaden potential cyber and technology liability beyond a typical data incident.
The gang listed FlyDubai on its dark web leak site with a six day negotiation timer, and Cybernews reported the listing. At the time of writing, no data samples had been publicly released to verify the claims, and FlyDubai had not responded publicly.
According to the reporting, the alleged dataset totals 4.36GB and includes personal records for 2,862 employees, pilot training materials, and operational directives for safety critical procedures.
Insurance Business also notes Everest’s claim that it obtained 2,827 Java source code files for Boeing’s Performance Engineers Tool, which is used for calculating takeoff weights, landing distances, fuel planning, and engine out scenarios, with more than 2,000 files marked as Boeing proprietary, confidential, or trade secret. The gang also claims access to a 190 page CFM engine manual and an Airbus ETOPS guide, both labeled confidential, and Cybernews researchers warned the data could be used for phishing and social engineering.
