From the beginning to today
A large-scale cyber attack targeted Berlin's state network, likely carried out by the Rhysida hacker group. They are demanding 30 bitcoins (approximately €2 million) and threaten to release stolen data if the ransom is not paid.
The hacking group Rhysida published nearly six terabytes of data from the Berlin Senate online after the authorities refused to pay a ransom of about two million euros. The data release occurred after the expiration of an ultimatum set by the attackers.
