The LockBit ransomware gang leaked 1Gb of allegedly stolen data from the District of Columbia’s Department of Insurance and Banking. The group threatens to release an additional 800Gb unless a ransom is paid. The stolen data contains sensitive information, potentially including names, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers. Tyler Technologies is working to assess the full impact and restore compromised data.
Key takeaways from the meeting notes:
1. The LockBit ransomware gang claims to have stolen 1Gb of data from the District of Columbia’s Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking (DISB) and threatens to release 800Gb of data unless a ransom is paid.
2. The data was allegedly stolen from DISB’s STAR system client during a cyberattack on Tyler Technologies, a public-sector software and services provider.
3. The cyberattack involved unauthorized access to a cloud environment hosting DISB’s STAR system client data, resulting in the deployment of file-encrypting ransomware.
4. Tyler Technologies is working on restoring the environment and associated data using available backups and is collaborating with cybersecurity forensic experts to identify the full impact of the breach.
5. Potentially compromised information includes names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and other personal data.
6. Tyler Technologies has yet to determine the full scope of the data breach and is in the process of identifying the affected individuals to notify them.
7. The attack on Tyler Technologies is unrelated to a 2020 ransomware attack that impacted its internal corporate network and phone systems.
