Lockbit ransomware gang claims that the global fast-food franchise Subway, has become one of their victims. The group has listed Subway on its Tor-based data leak website and have issued a threat to release a substantial amount of stolen data on February 2, 2024.
According to Lockbit claims, they have illegally obtained hundreds of gigabytes of confidential data from Subway. This data reportedly includes sensitive information such as:
- employee salaries,
- payments related to franchise royalties,
- commissions for master franchisees,
- financial details of individual restaurant operations.
The Lockbit group assert that they have infiltrated Subway's internal SUBS system and extracted a vast array of financial data. They accuse the renowned sandwich chain of disregarding the incident and announce their readiness to either negotiate with Subway for data protection or potentially sell the information to competitors.
As of now, Subway has not confirmed the attack nor provided any other details.
