Some Suffolk Residents Personal Information Leaked By Hackers: Report

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY — Documents published by the BlackCat ransomware group that is taking responsibility for the attack on Suffolk County's web-based applications include speeding tickets, county vendor contracts, and a handwritten marriage license from 1908, Newsday reported, citing a review of the materials.

In some cases, the documents show the names, addresses, and dates of birth of residents, according to the outlet.

In a Sept. 15 post on the dark web, hackers said they had extracted "4 TB of county files," including court and sheriff's office records, Newsday reported.

"We also have huge databases of Suffolk County citizens extracted from the clerk.county.suf. domain in the county administration," the post said.

An invoice for expert testimony provided by a company in a criminal trial in 2019 was also among the records leaked, the outlet reported.

On Monday, the group said it wanted an unspecified small reward, according to the outlet.
