U.S. Bancorp Says Ransomware Theft Claims Stem From Contractor Incident
U.S. Bancorp said there is no evidence its systems, networks, or data repositories were compromised after a ransomware gang claimed data theft tied to a third-party contractor. The bank provided information to law enforcement and traced the issue to a potential fourth-party cyber incident outside its environment. LockBit added the bank to its victim list and threatened to leak data within two weeks.
