Personal information belonging to officers of the U.S. capital's primary law enforcement agency has been leaked on the dark web by a Russian-speaking ransomware gang.

Personal information belonging to officers of the U.S. capital's primary law enforcement agency has been leaked on the dark web by a Russian-speaking ransomware gang, according to a source briefed on the investigation. The source told ABC News late Tuesday that the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia was notifying the affected officers. The police department has not responded to ABC News' request for comment. The group behind the leak, called Babuk, said in a statement on its darknet site late Monday that it would release "all the data" it stole from the police department if it did not "raise the price."
