The DoppelPaymer ransomware gang has released unencrypted data stolen from Hall County, Georgia, during a cyberattack earlier this month.
On October 7th, Hall County in Georgia announced that they had suffered a ransomware attack that impacted their networks and phone systems.
Today, the DoppelPaymer ransomware gang published a little over 1 GB of unencrypted files stolen from Hall County computers and claim to have encrypted 2,464 devices during the attack.
Also included are voter registration records containing resident's voter registration ID, full name, address, and assigned ballot, which is, for the most part, public information.
While most of the information released as part of this leak is public info, the data can be used in targeted phishing attacks or even for voter intimidation.
