Russia-tied hackers threaten to leak Georgia Trump trial docs if ransom isn't paid

[Tom of Temecula]

A Russia-based ransomware gang says it will publish pilfered Fulton County data — which includes documents tied to former President Donald Trump's court case — unless it is paid a ransom, according to a new report from the Register.

LockBit's threat could also involve a "total leak" of the Fulton County data that would put various cases and sources at risk, according to the report. “The stolen data will be published on the blog, there is no chance of destroying the stolen data without payment,” LockBit warned, according to former Washington Post reporter Brian Krebs' blog Krebs On Security.

Earlier in the month, before an FBI intervention, the hacker collective said they were determined to expose various entities alleged negligence, the report notes.

“We will demonstrate how local structures negligently handled information protection,” their original warning reads. “We will reveal lists of individuals responsible for confidentiality. Documents marked as confidential will be made publicly available. We will show documents related to access to the state citizens’ personal data. We aim to give maximum publicity to this situation; the documents will be of interest to many. Conscientious residents will bring order.”

2. Yep. As the saying goes, buckle up your seatbelts. It is going to be a bumpy ride

to next November.

The ratfucking is just in practice mode.
Wait until shit gets real.

3. Why would Fulton Country keep the Trump Trial files on a server that communicates over the Internet?

Hard time believing that Ms. Willis would have allowed that.

Could this be a planned disinfo campaign, designed to destroy the case? Create docs and emails (that don't exist) that defames the Prosecution? Sure, if Prosecution refutes, they can't probably release the real docs. And that will be a weapon that Trump's defense will glom onto. It's all about the Court of Public Opinion....and anything goes in that Court.

4. or steal a real dopcument and modify it to be incriminating

15. I don't believe for a second that Russian hackers got into Fani Willis and company's computer files ...

…. for the Fulton County Court hearing this case. This is a feint by people working for Putin
and the FSB in order to try to delay, or stop the trial, and introduce misinformation into the
public’s minds. We saw this with HRC and her emails which was a made up story from Russia
in order to help Trump. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the exact same people who worked
on rat f*****g the 2016 democratic campaigns were working on this.

Vlad and Russia have declared war on America and western democracies too. This is another
example of the ongoing conflict.

They are going to get Trump's case dropped if whatever ridiculous amount of ransom they demand isn't paid.

They are helping Trump.

[ancianita]

12. Be ready for this to happen with EVERY RUMP case

Beginning to believe more everyday that TFG is either the anti-christ, or the devil himself.

[WA-03 Democrat]

13. This will be the pattern

They will flood the zone with so much BS so we become totally cynical to the truth. Hold tight- going to be rocky for the next 9 months. They will release fake and true things with the goal of making it as muddy as possible.
