Risky Bulletin: Hacker wipes Romania's entire land registry database
A hacker breached Romania's National Agency for Cadastre and Real Estate Advertising (ANCPI) and deleted the country's entire land registry database after an extortion demand was rejected. The attack has rendered official systems offline for a week, preventing notaries from recording real-estate transactions and blocking citizens from accessing property ownership records. Email services at the agency were also disrupted as part of the incident.
Why it matters: Real-estate practitioners, notaries, and property owners in Romania face operational paralysis and inability to verify ownership or complete transactions, while government officials must address data recovery and breach response under potential regulatory scrutiny.
