The Cuba ransomware gang s dedicated data-leaking site
A ransomware-wielding gang has hit a Seattle-based billing and payment processing provider used by organizations and government agencies across California and Washington.
The Cuba ransomware gang has taken credit for the hit against Automatic Funds Transfer Services, saying on its dedicated leaks site - reachable only via the anonymizing Tor browser - that it left AFTS crypto-locked as of Feb. 4.
The leaks site listing says financial documents, correspondence with bank employees, account movements, balance sheets and tax documents were among the information the gang stole. The AFTS listing on Cuba s leaks site also states that the ransom demand was paid.

According to the DMV, the vehicle registration records may have been involved in the security breach of a contractor, Automatic Funds Transfer Services (AFTS), used by the DMV. AFTS was the victim of a ransomware attack earlier this month and it may have compromised the information provided to AFTS by the DMV. This would include the last 20 months of California vehicle registration records. DMV spokesperson Anita Gore said that the state agency is currently notifying customers about the ransomware attack.
