"Romania's cybersecurity agency confirms a major ransomware attack on the country's water management administration has compromised around 1,000 systems, with work to remediate them still ongoing. Administrația Națională Apele Române (Romanian Waters) says its geographical information system applications servers, database servers, Windows workstations, Windows Servers, email and web servers, and domain name servers are all affected. Its website remains offline, so official information is being disseminated via alternative sources."
"Romanian Waters oversees the country's water infrastructure, including dams, waterways, drinking water supplies, and monitoring systems. The attack, which began on December 20, also spread to ten of the country's 11 river basin management organizations, the Romanian National Cyber Security Directorate (DNSC) said. While around 1,000 systems are being investigated, Romanian Waters' operational capabilities were not affected."

The incident spread to ten of the country's 11 river basin management organizations. Files were encrypted and ransom notes demanded negotiations within seven days.
