"Ransomware Gang Leaks Data Allegedly Stolen From Government Contractor"

The LockBit ransomware gang has recently leaked 1Gb of data allegedly stolen from the District of Columbia’s Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking (DISB). LockBit claims to be in possession of 800 GB of data pertaining to DISB, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Delaware banking institutions, and other financial entities and threatens to release it unless DISB pays a ransom. The data appears to have been stolen from DISB’s STAR system client in late March during a cyberattack on Tyler Technologies, a software and services provider for the public sector. Tyler and DISB revealed that the attack involved unauthorized access to a cloud environment hosting DISB’s STAR system client data. Tyler confirmed that information allegedly stolen from the STAR system was leaked online, but said it has yet to determine the full scope of the data breach. Potentially compromised information, the contractor said, may include names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and other information.
