Babuk Ransomware gang is taking credit for an attack against the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C., and threatening to post exfiltrated data if a ransom is not paid. The police department confirms that attackers accessed its network, but it’s offering no further details. The gang posted files and images it said were from the police department on its darknet “wall of shame” website, claiming it had taken 250GB of data from the department. After several hours on Monday, Babuk removed the first message and replaced it with another that threatened to leak data.”]
