Ransomware attacks rarely indicate any data leakage; all they usually do is prevent you from accessing your own data (by encrypting your drive with a key you don't have access to).

The current trend is double-extortion ransomware attacks - encrypt your copy of your data, and threaten to release it publicly as well.
