A malicious actor has claimed to have leaked a database containing over 1.6 million lines of data from the Latvian government. The data breach, dated July 7, 2024, includes all information from Latvian government authorities.
The announcement of the breach was made on a specialized forum, where the user identified as Hana posted the initial message. Hana, a VIP user with 15 posts and a reputation of 30, indicated that the data dump includes 1,660,183 lines. The post provides a description of the extent of the leak, emphasizing that all data from the Latvian government has been compromised.
Currently, it is not possible to precisely confirm the authenticity of the breach. The affected organization has not yet released any official press statement on its website regarding the incident. Therefore, this article should be considered an ‘intelligence source’ rather than a definitive confirmation of the breach.
