Hackers leak 5.8TB from Berlin gov
A hacking group called "Rhysida" leaked approximately 5.79 terabytes of government data in Berlin after a deadline expired for an online auction in which the data was offered for 30 Bitcoin. The breach targeted two official departments: the Department of Urban Development, Construction, and Housing, and the Department of Transportation, Environment, and Climate, between August 7 and 12. German authorities confirmed that they will not pay any ransom and responded by establishing a crisis unit to investigate the leaked data and assess the potential damage, focusing on protecting citizens' and employees' personal information. The authorities describe the attack as a serious crime and continue their investigation to determine the extent of the damage and whether the hackers still have access to the government network.
