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

Posted on November 11, 2024 by Dissent

The following is an automated machine translation.

Matthew Garvey reports:

The data of approximately 200,000 citizens of Sector 5 (such as CNP, first and last name, address, among others) were put up for sale by the hackers who launched a cyber attack on the City Hall at the end of October. The attackers also gained access to platforms managed by the City Hall and to information such as discussions between employees or fines issued by the Local Police and patrol planning.  The information was first published on the LinkedIn account of a cyber security specialist, Bogdan Albei , who runs a profile company – Stop Ransomware.

The LinkedIn post by Albei contradicts the city’s statement. Bogdan writes: “Ransomhub’s post contradicts with evidence the official position of the City Hall which claimed that the incident was isolated and without data loss.” RansomHub’s post claims that there were some unsuccessful negotiations and they obtained personal information on Section 5 residents.
