Municipality of Loures targeted by cyber attack

ccording to a share from the media outlet "BetterCyber", on 9 October, the ransomware group "HiveLeak" claimed responsibility for an attack targeting the Portuguese municipality of Louros. The attack reportedly took place on 22 September and the stolen data was revealed between 9 and 10 October.

The town of Louros has a small population and appears to be small in size, with an economy based primarily on tourism. It is likely that this ransomware attack will have a significant impact if the ransom demanded is high. Furthermore, despite the nature of the stolen data, the sample provided in the leak page includes contact, financial and administrative information, which may expose residents to further cyber threats if their data is revealed.
