Data stolen from Romania's National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration (ANCPI) has been listed for sale online following a cyberattack that disrupted the agency's IT systems.
The incident marks a significant escalation in the threat landscape for public sector infrastructure, with sensitive property records now exposed to potential misuse.
The attack resulted in the blocking of several computer systems at the agency, halting normal operations.
According to reports from Adevarul, the stolen information is being offered by hackers on the internet, signaling a shift from simple service disruption to data extortion.
The breach highlights the critical nature of land registry data, which underpins property rights and real estate transactions across the country.
This event aligns with broader trends in cyber warfare and criminal activity, where state-sponsored groups and organized crime syndicates increasingly target government databases.
