It’s unclear how LockBit managed to hack Maximum Industries in order to obtain the blueprints, but it makes sense that SpaceX’s partner would have them in the first place. They’re probably necessary for the manufacturing of aerospace parts used to build out the technology.
However, we don’t know how crucial these blueprints are to the entire SpaceX operation. In any case, having the plans alone won’t do anything for anyone — they’d still need to be manufactured, so it’s hard to imagine that any company within the U.S. would be able to keep it stealthy after purchasing the stolen blueprints. There’s no telling where they could end up, though, and if the buyer is in another country, they’ll be all the more difficult to track.
So far, if the tweet is to be believed, LockBit seems to be complaining that both SpaceX and Maximum Industries are unwilling to cooperate. The hacker gang has set a ransom on the blueprints, and if not paid by March 20, it promises to sell them to the highest bidder.
What will happen if neither company agrees to pay up? If LockBit does indeed have the blueprints, they might sell them to one of the bidders they claim to have. SpaceX and Maximum Industries ignored The Register’s requests for comment, so we might never really know from a reputable source. The hacker group might keep the world updated of its exploits, but it’s hard to take all of these stories at face value.
