Lithuania Suspects Foreign Involvement in Data Leak of Over 600,000 National Register Entries

Lithuanian authorities are investigating a massive data breach involving over 600,000 entries from national real estate and legal entity registers, which was accessed using legitimate login credentials from authorized institutions. Officials suspect a foreign country, likely Russia, orchestrated the breach as part of ongoing hybrid warfare operations against the Baltic nation. The head of Lithuania's Centre of Registers has resigned, and authorities have implemented emergency cybersecurity measures including blocking suspected accounts, while expressing concern that sensitive information about military personnel, intelligence officers, and diplomats may have been compromised.
