•[ data leak, ransomware, cyber intrusion ]
In February 2025, the Virginia Attorney Generals Office voluntarily shut down nearly all internal systems after detecting a sophisticated cyber intrusion. The criminal group Cloak later claimed responsibility, asserting it had stolen 134 GB of internal documents and posted samples to its leak site. Officials confirmed system shutdowns for containment but did not verify any file encryption or ransom demand, indicating an exfiltration-only intrusion rather than an active ransomware lockout.
