Ransomware attack on Bucharest: data of hundreds of thousands of citizens involved

Bogdan Albei, a cybersecurity specialist, disclosed that a cyber attack resulted in a data breach involving approximately 200,000 citizens in Sector 5, contradicting the City Hall’s assertion of no data loss.

The hackers reportedly accessed sensitive discussions and Local Police information, which raises significant concerns about the security of municipal data and the implications for personal privacy.

RansomHub revealed that they engaged in negotiations regarding the stolen data, highlighting the tensions between hacker groups and municipal authorities regarding data recovery and accountability.

Bogdan's findings emphasize the growing threats faced by urban governance structures, as they navigate the complexities of cyber threats and municipal cybersecurity measures.
