The Lockbit threat was no longer on the gang's website as of Wednesday, and it didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Boeing declined to comment on whether Lockbit was behind the cyber incident it disclosed.
It's unclear what data Lockbit may have stolen from the company.
"Paying the ransom would simply elicit a pinky promise from LockBit that they will destroy whatever data they obtained," Callow said.
