A threat group spreading ransomware has started publishing copies of files that it allegedly copied last month from Royal Military College, reports IT World Canada. The article states that this appears to be an effort to pressure the institution into paying the group.

A spokesperson for the Department of National Defense (DND) stated that it is assessing the extent to which the RMC’s data was compromised. IT World Canada (National)
