The Metropolitan Police Department(MPD) of the district of Columbia has become the latest high-profile government agency to fall victim to a ransomware attack.
The Babuk Locker gang claimed in a post on the dark web that they had compromised the D.C. police's networks and had stolen 250GB of unencrypted files. The screenshots shared by the group includes various folders containing what appears to be investigation reports, arrests, disciplinary actions and other intelligence briefings. The Babuk Locker gang has given three days heed to their ransom demand or they will leak sensitive files that could expose police informants to criminal gangs.
