Default Ransomware Is Getting Ugly - Cops Lives Made Open Book

https://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram.../0515.html#cg4

[2021.05.14] Modern ransomware has two dimensions: pay to get your
data back, and pay not to have your data dumped on the Internet. The
DC police are the victims of this ransomware, and the criminals have
just posted personnel records ˇX ˇ§including the results of
psychological assessments and polygraph tests; driverˇ¦s license
images; fingerprints; social security numbers; dates of birth; and
residential, financial, and marriage historiesˇ¨ ˇX for two dozen police
officers.

The negotiations donˇ¦t seem to be doing well. The criminals want $4M.
The DC police offered them $100,000.
