Romanian Government Cadastre (ANCPI) cyber attack / ransomware

Reddit •/u/Fit_Asidy • July 15, 2026

Romanian Government Cadastre (ANCPI) cyber attack A very serious ransomware attack is underway on the networks of ANCPI, Romania’s national cadastre agency. Our close monitoring of the threat actor Bytetobreach — who carried out a similar attack last month on Latvia State Forests — detected simultaneous uploads on dark web forums regarding this incident. These claims were later confirmed on ANCPI’s official website. What was described as a “small technical incident” in yesterday’s press release has suddenly been recharacterized by ANCPI itself as “the most serious technical incident in the institution’s history.” Sources : (official press releases ) submitted by /u/Fit_Asidy [link] [ ]

Cyberattacks Target Romanian Public Institutions, Data Compromised A wave of cyberattacks has targeted several Romanian public institutions, primarily affecting the National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration (ANCPI) and the Ministry of Investments and European Projects. The attacks began on July 14, 2026, leading to significant disruptions, including the e-Terra application becoming non-functional. A phishing campaign utilizing a cloned version of the government payment portal ghiseul.ro has also been reported. The hacker group 'ByteToBreach' claimed responsibility for the ANCPI breach, exploiting a known vulnerability from 2021 and allegedly selling stolen data online. The ANCPI described this incident as the most severe technical attack in its history, with ongoing investigations into potential ransom demands. Authorities have confirmed that personal data of Romanian citizens has been compromised, raising concerns about the security of sensitive information. The Romanian government has issued warnings to citizens regarding phishing attempts related to traffic fines. 9 sources 71
