Lithuania investigates theft of 600,000 state registry records by foreign actor

Lithuanian prosecutors are investigating a large-scale data breach at the state Centre of Registers that exposed over 600,000 records — including names, dates of birth, national identification numbers and property/cadastral data — after attackers abused login credentials assigned to authorized institutions; the incident was detected in April, prompted account blocks and mandatory credential updates, led to the registry chief's resignation, and prosecutors are probing possible foreign (allegedly Russian) involvement though attribution remains unconfirmed.
