Statement regarding LockBit claims
Earlier this morning we became aware of tweets from LockBit, the cyber-criminal gang, claiming that they had compromised Darktrace’s internal security systems and had accessed our data. Our security teams have run a full review of our internal systems and can see no evidence of compromise. None of the LockBit social media posts link to any compromised Darktrace data. We will continue to monitor the situation extremely closely, but based on our current investigations we are confident that our systems remain secure and all customer data is fully protected.

Darktrace AI Stops 4,000 Threats a Week at Fashion Brand Ted Baker
Darktrace, a global leader in cyber security AI, today announced that its Self-Learning AI is being used to intercept 4,000 cyber-threats every week at Ted Baker.
The quintessentially British global lifestyle brand has revealed that, of these cyber-threats, over 200 are targeted attacks. These include spear phishing emails devised to reach high-level executives, and cyber campaigns that seek to steal competitive insights or intellectual property.
Ted Baker relies on Darktrace technology to identify and interrupt cyber-threats before they escalate into full-blown compromises, including Darktrace Antigena, Darktrace’s Autonomous Response product, which is able to respond to ransomware within one second of suspicious behaviour emerging. The technology protects the full range of their digital systems, from email to point of sale devices.
Powered by Self-Learning AI, Darktrace technology works by developing an understanding of what is normal behaviour for each user and device within an organization, and neutralizes malicious behaviour by enforcing this normal ‘pattern of life’. Crucially, this means that day-to-day business is not disrupted.
“Within seconds of out-of-the-ordinary behaviour emerging, Darktrace AI forms an understanding of whether an attack is underway or not, and can interrupt that activity before our security teams are able to,” commented Leon Shepherd, Chief Information Officer, Ted Baker. “With Autonomous Response, I know the AI is always ready to jump in on our behalf at machine speed, giving my team more time to focus on higher-value tasks.”
