DC Metropolitan Police Department

DC Metropolitan Police Department was affected by a cyber attack on may 2021.

Twenty-two officers’ applicant files were in an archive that was 165 MB compressed. This was in addition to the first small dump the threat actors made with 5 other officers’ applicant files.

It was revealed that the ransom demand was $4 million USD, and that the police department’s supposedly final offer was $100,000.00 which was rejected by the hacker group.

They also uploaded a new archive of files that appears to be 22.7 GB in size, hackers indicated that they had downloaded 250 GB of data, so this is allegedly another partial dump.
