Unintended Work Break
A cyberattack on the National Agency for Cadastre and Real Estate Publicity (ANCPI), Romania’s land registry office, brought the agency’s operations to a standstill on Monday. According to the online portal Risky Business, because the agency did not comply with the attacker’s extortion demands, the attacker deleted all data. The existing backups are also said to have been deleted. As a result, the entire Romanian real estate market will be at a standstill for the foreseeable future.
The ANCPI is confident that it has multiple backups of its systems, ensuring that “redundancy is guaranteed and data recovery is possible in the event of cybersecurity incidents.” No information has yet been provided regarding the expected “duration of the outage.” However, the cybersecurity firm KELA believes that the criminal Zakaria Mahdjoub from Oran, Algeria, is behind the attacker’s “ByteToBreach” account.
