Ransomware group claims breach of pro-Orbán Hungarian media firm

Mediaworks, a major Hungarian media conglomerate, confirmed an incident after the World Leaks cyber‑extortion group published nearly 8.5 TB of allegedly sensitive stolen files (payroll, contracts, financials, internal communications). World Leaks — a rebrand of the Hunters International operation that prioritizes data theft and publication over system encryption — targeted organizations across multiple countries and this appears to be its first known operation in Hungary; independent outlets reported politically sensitive editorial notes among the leaked material, while Recorded Future could not independently verify authenticity.
