The Berlin provincial leadership was attacked in early August by the hacker group Rhysida, which also recently operated in Hungary. The Berlin leadership did not succumb to blackmail, now they can run after their data.
5.6 Terabytes of data was captured by the hacker group Rhysida in the Berlin Senate – sometimes highly sensitive medical records and care plans. The group apparently received access by a simple click of an employee on a phishing email.
The Chaos Computer Club warns against premature assessments of the hacker attack on the Berlin administration.
