Atac cibernetic de proporții în Germania: Hackerii șantajează Berlinul cu 2 milioane de euro - Peste un milion de date sensibile au fost publicate pe darknet

The Berlin mayor confirmed that sensitive data was stolen during a cyberattack in August, affecting various city administration records. Hackers published over a million stolen records on the darknet, demanding a ransom of around 2 million euros. The mayor refused to pay, citing concerns about data security post-payment. The attack disrupted city services, particularly housing and environmental departments, for a week. A crisis response plan is being implemented to assess the impact and inform affected citizens. Authorities are treating the incident as a serious crime and will notify those impacted according to data protection regulations.
