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.

Leading University Bolsters Cyber Security with Darktrace AI
Darktrace, the world’s leading AI company for cyber defense has today announced that the internationally leading Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has deployed Darktrace’s AI technology to defend its cutting-edge research, and the personal data of 17,000 students and employees, against novel cyber-threats.
In the midst of an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape, growing numbers of educational organizations like HKUST are leveraging Darktrace AI to proactively detect and respond to unpredictable cyber-attacks, including International Baccalaureate, Universidad de Las Americas and United World College of South East Asia.
Charles Choy, IT Security Officer, HKUST, commented: “Darktrace proved to be valuable from the offset, finding several security breaches, which would have otherwise gone undetected. Traditional security tools, although necessary, are insufficient in providing us with actionable intelligence and leave our security team with alert fatigue. The Enterprise Immune System flags genuine threats as soon as they emerge, and enable us to take swift remedial action, before they escalate.”
