Ransomware Attack Targets Romania's National Penitentiary Administration On July 29, 2026, Romania's National Penitentiary Administration (ANP) was hit by a ransomware attack affecting multiple workstations and servers. The attack prompted immediate isolation of affected equipment to limit damage, and several services were temporarily shut down. ANP's director, Geo-Bogdan Burcu, indicated that while the extent of data loss is still being assessed, existing backups may mitigate the impact. The IT team is collaborating with the National Cyber Security Directorate to investigate the incident and restore services. A formal complaint will be filed with DIICOT to further address the attack. The situation is currently under control, with the administration operating in a limited capacity to ensure the rights of incarcerated individuals are maintained. 2 sources 55
