Cyberattack caused significant data leakage from Latvijas valsts meži (LVM), though backup copies remain intact, enabling potential data recovery.
A cyberattack against Latvijas valsts meži (LVM) led to the leakage of large volumes of data. Contrary to some claims, LVM retained backup copies that were not destroyed, and recovery from these backups is possible, as stated by Baiba Kaškina, head of Cert.lv. The incident raises concerns among forest owners about stolen data possibly being sold to fraudsters, as per public comments. The attack's impact on LVM's operations and the exact nature of the stolen data remain partially unclear.
Confidence: Medium
The attack involved unauthorized data access and leakage (a hostile activity), fitting the 'Data theft / leaks' incident type under Cyber Attacks. While the article does not specify the attacker, the nature of the incident and context suggest aggressive hybrid warfare tactics.
