The company continues its comprehensive investigation of the attack, and business is operating normally,\u201d Visser Precision said in an emailed statement to Fifth Domain. \u201cVisser Precision will continue full cooperation with its customer partner companies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hacker group, which is a variant of actor BitPaymer, has been active for over a year but only recently began releasing compromised information, Callow said. The group\u2019s website features an ominous message to \u201cstay tuned\u201d for a \u201cLOT\u201d more data to come \u201cby parts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While threatening to release additional data, the group has already posted personnel information from industry corporations, government officials and subcontractors from 2016, as well as a partial document related to a missile antenna from Lockheed Martin from 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are aware of the situation with Visser Precision and are following our standard response process for potential cyber incidents related to our supply chain,\u201d a Lockheed Martin spokesperson told Fifth Domain. \u201cLockheed Martin has made and continues to make significant investments in cybersecurity, and uses industry-leading information security practices to protect sensitive information.

The released data, however, does not pertain to this platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SpaceX, General Dynamics and Boeing all did not immediately respond to requests for comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Callow, who monitors hackers\u2019 activities, said DoppelPaymer has previously claimed in online posts to have stolen data in additional, unrelated incidents, and he believes more information will likely be released soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis attack is particularly worrisome because of the nature of the information that may have fallen into the hands of cybercriminals,\u201d Callow said. \u201cObviously, this [hack] could put the intellectual property of the companies\u2019 concerned at risk and possibly even pose a risk to national security.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Federal Bureau of Investigation alerted businesses last October about \u201chigh-impact ransomware attacks\u201d that specifically target government entities and corporations to encrypt data and unlock it for a fee, Fifth Domain <a

the last 48 hours, Maze separately published stolen information from a Canadian provincial government, state-owned Mexican petroleum company Pemex and a French telecommunications company, Callow added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 2019 Emsisoft <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.emsisoft.com\/en\/34822\/the-state-of-ransomware-in-the-us-report-and-statistics-2019\/\">report<\/a> found
