DC police are the victims of this ransomware, and the criminals have
just posted personnel records ¡X ¡§including the results of
psychological assessments and polygraph tests; driver¡¦s license
images; fingerprints; social security numbers; dates of birth; and
residential, financial, and marriage histories¡¨ ¡X for two dozen police
