Brooklyn Defender Services

Brooklyn Defender Services was compromised in a ransomware attack attributed to insomnia in July 2026. The organization, operating in the Government & Defense sector in United States, was added to the group's data leak site as part of an extortion campaign.

insomnia operates as a financially motivated ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation, exfiltrating sensitive data and threatening public disclosure to pressure victims into paying ransom demands.

Brooklyn Defender Services is a public defense office providing free, client-centered representation and advocacy in and out of court, protecting people from loss of freedom, family separation, and serious legal harm by unjust, racist systems.
