Hackers Used DC Police Surveillance System to Distribute Cerber Ransomware

Mihai Alexandru Isvanca and Eveline Cismaru, Romanian nationals, are accused of hacking into Washington DC’s outdoor surveillance system. The two allegedly logged in via RDP and started various applications they needed to send spam emails to victims. Washington police discovered the intrusion on January 12 and shut down the system for four days until January 15 to clean and secure their network. The shutdown of Washington, DC’s entire CCTV system took place two weeks ahead of President Trump’s inauguration ceremony.
