"Belgian Police Under Fire After Major Ransomware Leak"

A notorious ransomware group has recently begun leaking highly sensitive data it stole from Belgian police in what is being described as one of the biggest breaches of its kind in the country.  RagnarLocker has been connected to the incident, which hit the Zwijndrecht police force in the city of Antwerp.  Zwijndrecht police noted that earlier in the year, internet criminals were able to gain access to the administrative network.  It is currently being investigated.  Records dating back to 2006 were accessed by the hackers.  The police did mention that sensitive information was on the network.  While the administrative staff is most impacted by the incident, they’re not the only ones.   It is currently unclear how many citizens are affected by the breach, but they include victims, perpetrators, witnesses, and those under surveillance, with potentially far-reaching consequences if their identities are uncovered.
