This follows attack on NHS services in Scotland last week
The cyber skids at INC Ransom are claiming responsbility for the ongoing cybersecurity incident at Leicester City Council, according to a post caught by eagle-eyed infosec watchers.
Posting a victim to a leak site and swiftly removing it is a process known as"flashing," and is commonly used to get a response out of leadership teams that may have gone silent during the ransom negotiation phase. Council-run recreation centers are now back open as usual, and computer and Wi-Fi services at public libraries were also brought back online. Council staff have regained access to emails and phone lines too.
"We're very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the cyber incident and want to thank people for their patience while we restore our systems. I'd also like to thank all of our partners in the city who have supported us as we deal with this incident."
