LITHUANIAN authorities are responding to a significant data leak affecting over 600,000 entries from national registers, suspected to be orchestrated by a foreign entity, possibly linked to Russian intelligence operations. The leak involved unauthorized access to real estate and legal registries, prompting the resignation of the State Enterprise Centre of Registers head and the implementation of enhanced cybersecurity measures, including blocking suspect accounts. The incident raises concerns about national security, as the leaked data could expose sensitive information about military and diplomatic personnel.
