Berlin government data leaks before elections

The Berlin Council network was subjected to a major cyberattack resulting in the theft and sale of 5.79 terabytes of sensitive data, including contracts, emails, phone numbers, and passwords, by the Russian or Eastern European group "Resida." Authorities announced that the Central Crisis Unit will oversee the review of the stolen data and assess the impact of the attack, while they confirmed that no ransom was paid and that no unverified claims are being circulated on social media. This attack comes less than a month before the state elections scheduled for September 20, and it represents a serious breach of the state's security.
