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, the leader in Enterprise Immune System technology, has announced that the London-based hedge fund manager Macrosynergy Partners has selected Darktrace’s award-winning technology to help defend and protect its data and systems.

Macrosynergy Partners manages a global macro discretionary trading fund, launched in January 2010, which invests in foreign exchanges, rates, credit and equity, and associated derivatives. Dedicated to providing competitive risk-adjusted returns on investment to its clients, Macrosynergy has identified cyber security as a strategic priority, in the context of an increasingly complex digital environment and growing investor demands for robust and resilient information infrastructures.

In December last year, the firm selected Darktrace’s self-learning Enterprise Immune System appliance to continuously monitor its network activity, as part of its strategy of gaining total visibility of all its digital interactions and proactively identifying potential cyber risks.

“At Macrosynergy, we take the protection of our information assets very seriously. We realised that we needed to be ahead of coming regulation in this area, and we took proactive steps to improve our understanding of our network activity,” said Conor Claxton, Chief Operating Officer, Macrosynergy Partners. “Darktrace shines a light onto our systems, giving us a visual overview of what’s really happening ‘under the hood’ – instead of relying on guesswork. Investors are increasingly demanding best-of-class technology to defend their managed assets, and Darktrace’s ‘immune system’ solution gives us that.”

“It is a privilege to work with firms like Macrosynergy Partners, who are leading their industry in adopting the cutting-edge technology to proactively defend its critical data and trading systems,” said Nicole Eagan, CEO of Darktrace. “Thanks to the easy installation process and intuitive Threat Visualizer interface, the Enterprise Immune System is well-positioned to help protect the hedge fund industry at large, without necessitating extensive security expertise and specialists.”
