More than 600,000 records have been stolen from Lithuania's Centre of Registers, the state agency responsible for managing property and personal data. Prosecutors have opened an investigation, saying the unauthorised access originated from a foreign state.
What data was breached?
According to Centre of Registers chief Adrijus Jusas, the breach exposed data from real estate register extracts, including personal identification numbers.
He maintained, however, that contact details such as phone numbers and email addresses were not compromised, nor were bank account numbers, payment information, or documents relating to property transactions or court rulings.
Prosecutors confirmed that several unauthorised logins and attempts to access the Centre of Registers were carried out from a foreign state, using systems administered by other institutions. They have not named the country or institutions involved, and Jusas said he was unable to disclose those details.
