Approximately 450,000 citizens' personal data in Moldova was illegally accessed during an October cyberattack, lower than the initial estimate of 750,000. President Maia Sandu confirmed this after a security council meeting, stating that the affected individuals will be notified by the Electronic Government Agency. The attack exploited a vulnerability in an application, allowing access to multiple state institution registers. While banking data integrity remains intact, personal information could be misused for fraud. Authorities advise citizens to safeguard their confidential information and a working group will propose cybersecurity improvements.
