Metro Vancouver Transit Police say the agency was targeted by hackers who accessed almost 200 of its files as part of a global wave of attacks that U.S. officials have blamed on a Russian cyber-extortion gang.
The ransom gang grabbed files belonging to a bunch of organizations, not just the Transit Police. It was a breach of a 3rd party software maker who hosts files. They’re most likely holding the data for ransom.
