Up to 4,000 stolen files have been released by hackers who launched a ransomware attack against the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency on Christmas Eve. The agency is charged with protecting Scotland s environment via national flood forecasting, flood warnings and more. The attack has affected SEPA’s email systems, which remain offline as of Thursday, according to the agency. SEPA said it still does not know and may never know the full details of all files stolen. Some of the compromised information was already publicly available, while other data was not, it confirmed.
