Cyberattack Hits Liechtenstein’s Register of People Behind Companies and Foundations

A cyberattack accessed the personal data of approximately 31,000 individuals listed in Liechtenstein's economic beneficiaries register. The breach occurred late at night and was detected on Thursday, prompting immediate security measures, including taking the system offline. The government emphasized that there were no signs of data alteration or deletion. This register is part of efforts to combat money laundering and terrorism financing in the small, affluent nation. In response to the attack, a crisis unit was established to investigate the incident.
