Have you taken your place on the wall?

The group RansomVC is claimed responsibility for the breach. …

The voter records were accessed through DataNet, a web server used by board, but no internal databases were directly compromised, according to the board. …

The Washington Post reports the alleged culprits posted the data for sale on its dark web site. …

Most ransomware attacks are an encryption of data, which blocks the owner’s access to it. And the data is unencrypted in exchange for money, or ransom.
