“The Arc of Essex County, a New Jersey-based organization for children with IDD, has appeared on Lockbit’s blog, an underground website the gang uses to post its victims. “
“The countdown clock implies that the organization’s data will be made public if the Arc of Essex County doesn’t pay ransom until February 26.“
“The tactic criminals use is dubbed ‘double extortion.’ Not only are victims robbed of their data, but they’re also threatened with it being made public if the ransom demands are not met. “
