A cyberattack has targeted a register of people behind companies and foundations in the wealthy principality of Liechtenstein. The overnight attack hit the nation's anti-money-laundering register, exposing beneficial owners in a country of just 40,000 residents.
An investigation team appointed to probe the breach has determined that hackers successfully stole data from approximately 31,000 legal entities. The breach specifically impacted the registry of foundations and trusts.
Government authorities stated that the hackers behind the large-scale attack have not yet been identified. Investigations into the incident are continuing.
