Read previewUS bases and aircraft in the Pacific are facing intense threat from Chinese missiles, and the Pentagon isn't doing enough to counter that challenge, according to American lawmakers. In a Wednesday letter to Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall and Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro, 13 members of Congress pointed out glaring vulnerabilities in the Pacific region and demanded "immediate changes." A U.S. Air Force Rockwell B-1B Lancer (L) and a Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker (R) sit on the tarmac at Andersen Air Force base on August 17, 2017, in Yigo, Guam.

Notably, none of the US shelters were in Guam — home to Andersen Air Force Base which routinely hosts American bombers.

☆ A tiny investment firm claims Boeing 'hoodwinked' it into buying a failing supplier — more than a year after Boeing claimed it was 'held hostage' over the same deal

Ten Oaks Management accused Boeing of "conning" it into buying a failing supplier, in a counterclaim. But when it assumed control of Astech, Boeing alleges it was "held hostage" by the family office and subject to a "bait and switch." AdvertisementHowever, Ten Oaks hit back with a counterclaim last Friday, saying it was duped into buying Astech by Boeing. The complaint says Boeing's contract with Astech was "lopsided" and leading it into bankruptcy because the pricing didn't even cover manufacturing costs. Another Boeing supplier, Spirit AeroSystems, is also facing scrutiny because it builds the Max 9 fuselage.

☆ Boeing assessing Lockbit hacking gang threat of sensitive data leak
  + stars: | 2023-10-27 | by ( Zeba Siddiqui | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The hacking group posted a countdown clock on its data leak website with a message saying, "Sensitive data was exfiltrated and ready to be published if Boeing do not contact within the deadline!" "For now we will not send lists or samples to protect the company BUT we will not keep it like that until the deadline," the hacking group said. The hacking group typically deploys ransomware on a victim organization's system to lock it up and also steals sensitive data for extortion. Lockbit was the most active global ransomware group last year based on the number of victims it claimed on its data leak blog, according to the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The hacking gang also did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent on an address it mentioned on its data leak site.

☆ Boeing struggles to steer defense unit in another year of losses
  + stars: | 2023-10-27 | by ( Valerie Insinna | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
The Boeing KC-46 Pegasus aerial refueling tanker is seen before a delivery celebration to the U.S. Air Force in Everett, Washington, U.S., January 24, 2019. Despite absorbing $4.4 billion in losses in 2022 – which executives said would lower the risk of future cost overruns – the unit has seen little improvement this year. Excluding last year, losses on Boeing's defense programs in 2023 exceed those from all years since 2014, according to a Reuters review of Boeing’s regulatory filings. The latest charge for Air Force One brought total losses to $2.4 billion on a $3.9 billion contract to develop two planes. A better bet, and one Boeing's defense segment is aggressively pursuing, is inking future contracts for next-generation fighter jets and cutting-edge drones.
