Maze: Several files allegedly stolen from Westech appeared on the website used by the operators of the Maze ransomware to threaten and extort the companies that they, or their associates, have victimized. Westech is a US Department of Defense contractor that provides engineering for the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile system, acting as a sub-contractor for Northrup Grumman. The Maze website claims that files were stolen on May 8, 2020, and provided links to a few of the files that were allegedly stolen, including some personal information and document files. The ransomware operators did not make any claims about whether or not they obtained any files related to sensitive engineering data about missile systems, but any classified information was likely kept on computer systems that were not connected to the Internet and should have been stored in a physically secure space, not networked with any computers that the Maze operators would have been able to access.
