Babuk â the allegedly Russian-speaking ransomware gang targeting D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department â posted on the dark web a message that it was shutting down, only to reverse course and pull the message from the site.
The D.C. Police Department case broke earlier this week, with reports that Babuk had infiltrated the departmentâs networks and threatened to make public confidential information, including names of suspected gang member informants and intelligence from crime briefings.
