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, a leading autonomous cyber security AI company, today announced that it is extending its partnership with McLaren Racing and embarking on a new sponsorship of the Arrow McLaren SP.

For the first time, the Darktrace logo will feature on the side chassis of both the No. 5 Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet and the No. 7 Vuse Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet, starting with the season-opening race at Barber Motorsports Park on April 18.

“The entire team is excited to welcome Darktrace to Arrow McLaren SP and the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. They have been a great partner to McLaren in Formula 1 and we look forward to bringing their cutting-edge technology and security to North America to support our team in INDYCAR. Data is incredibly important to any race team and it’s reassuring to know we have Darktrace working with us now to keep it safe and secure,” commented Taylor Kiel, President, Arrow McLaren SP.

“I am very pleased to continue our partnership as the Official AI Cyber Security Partner to both McLaren teams across Formula 1 and the NTT IndyCar Series,” commented Poppy Gustafsson, CEO, Darktrace. “As we enter a new era of cyber-threats, it’s more important than ever to build resilient digital infrastructures, employing self-learning technology capable of interrupting emerging security incidents in the seconds that count.”
