Berlin faces extortion after cyberattack
The Berlin government refused to pay a ransom after the cyberattack targeting the local administration network, confirming that it did not comply with the attackers' demands and is investigating the extent of the data breach. The ransomware group "Resida" claimed responsibility, announcing that they stole 5.79 terabytes of data, including over 46,000 contracts, emails, phone numbers, and passwords. They put the data up for auction starting at 30 bitcoins (approximately $77,600) in less than a week. The infrastructure for the scheduled parliamentary elections on September 20 was unaffected, with authorities affirming that it was neither hacked nor compromised.
