The files ap­pear on the web­site of the Dop­pel­Paymer ran­somware group, a sig­nif­i­cant op­er­a­tor of such at­tacks, said Brett Cal­low, a threat an­a­lyst at cy­ber­se­cu-rity firm Em­sisoft.

If we pay the ransom, will they give us the files?

The article said it was a sample of the files, not all of them.

Wasnt there one is 2016? iirc Georgia didn't allow the feds to do something with thier voting system and then the day before the election Georias voter base was accessed from the state department?

Edit: I think this article is probably about it https://www.wsj.com/articles/georgia-reports-attempt-to-hack-states-election-database-via-ip-address-linked-to-homeland-security-1481229960
