Liechtenstein register breach exposes data of 31,000 individuals

A cyberattack has compromised the data of approximately 31,000 individuals from Liechtenstein’s beneficial ownership register, which identifies the natural persons controlling legal entities such as companies and foundations. This register, maintained by the government, was established to meet international anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing standards. The breached data includes personal information like names, birth dates, nationalities, and ownership details. Authorities detected the breach, secured the data, and launched an investigation, confirming that no records were altered or deleted during the incident.
