Executive Summary
AI-generated
Lithuania is investigating a major data breach that potentially exposed sensitive personal and property records of over 600,000 individuals. The breach, which was first detected in early April, involved the misuse of login credentials assigned to institutions authorized to access databases managed by the Centre of Registers, a state agency responsible for handling property and legal entity records. Lithuanian authorities have attributed the attack to an unnamed foreign country, with some speculating that it may be linked to Russia due to Lithuania's proximity to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad and its repeated accusations against Moscow of conducting hybrid operations against the country. The compromised data included personal information such as names, dates of birth and national identification numbers, along with property-related data including addresses, cadastral information and registry numbers.
