morrisonexpress... Listed by lockbit2 Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
The morrisonexpress... Listed by lockbit2 Ransomware Group (reported May 20, 2022) is an unverified claim; the data involved is undisclosed belonging to roughly unknown people. If you have an account with them, your information may now be circulating on the open web and with data brokers. Here’s exactly what happened, how to check if you were affected, and what to do next.
On May 20, 2022, the logistics company morrisonexpress appeared on a leak site operated by the ransomware group lockbit2. The listing indicated that internal files had been taken during a ransomware operation, though the number of people affected and the precise contents of the data remain unknown.
The incident is one of many in which organizations have been publicly referenced by ransomware operators after files were removed from their systems. Such listings do not always result in the release of the material, and independent confirmation of the claims has not been reported.
What happened
Morrisonexpress was listed on the lockbit2 ransomware leak site on May 20, 2022. The group stated that internal files had been exfiltrated. No further details on the method of access, the volume of data, or the timeline of the intrusion have been made public. The number of individuals potentially affected is also undisclosed.
Who is lockbit2?
Lockbit2 is a ransomware operation that has been active since at least 2019. The group typically deploys encryption on victim systems and maintains a public leak site where it lists organizations from which it claims to have taken data. It follows a double-extortion model in which it both encrypts systems and threatens to publish stolen material. The group has appeared in multiple public reports covering ransomware activity across various sectors.
In this case the group claims to have stolen internal data from morrisonexpress, but that assertion originates solely from the leak-site listing.
About morrisonexpress...
Morrisonexpress operates in the logistics and freight-forwarding sector. Companies of this type manage shipments, customs documentation, and supply-chain records for clients across multiple industries. Their systems commonly process commercial contracts, shipment details, and contact information for business partners.
A listing involving such an organization draws attention because logistics providers sit at the center of physical and digital supply chains, where disruption or exposure of records can affect many downstream parties.
What was likely exposed
The only information released states that internal files were exfiltrated. The exact categories of data contained in those files have not been disclosed. Organizations in this sector routinely hold commercial records, partner contact details, and operational documentation, but it is not confirmed whether any of these specific types were among the material referenced in the listing.
Why it matters
When internal files from a logistics provider are removed, the primary concerns are potential exposure of business correspondence and operational records. Individuals or companies named in those records could face follow-on risks such as targeted phishing or misuse of contact information. For the organization itself, the incident adds to the costs of incident response, possible regulatory notifications, and any required remediation of affected systems.
Because the scale of the data and the number of people involved remain unknown, the full extent of downstream effects cannot yet be measured.

Publicly posted by lockbit — unverified claim, pending independent verification
Breach listings — particularly those originating from ransomware or leak sites — are third-party claims that may be unverified, incomplete, or inaccurate. A listing does not by itself confirm that a breach occurred or that any specific data was exposed. Severity is an automated assessment, not a definitive rating. Verification status is shown where available.
