Liechtenstein has fallen victim to a major cyberattack, resulting in the theft of data from approximately 31,000 individuals. The government of the country reported the incident and has already established a special crisis headquarters, writes [DW](https://www.dw.com/ru/lihtenstejn-stal-zertvoj-masstabnoj-kiberataki/a-78209929). The target of the attack was the Register of Economically Eligible Persons (VwbP). It contains information about individuals associated with companies, funds, and trusts. This registry is used to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Following the incident, access to the registry on the government portal LLV.li was closed. Users are informed that technical work is being conducted on the site. Preliminary information indicates that the attackers gained unauthorized access to the system on July 30. After that, specialists began a detailed investigation. By July 31, the government was notified of a possible successful cyberattack, and on August 1, authorities received the first confirmed results of the preliminary investigation. At the same time, the government emphasizes that there are currently no signs that the data has been altered or destroyed. To coordinate the work, a crisis headquarters has been established, which, according to the dpa agency, is headed by Prime Minister Brigitte Haas and Justice Minister Emanuel Scheidler. It is still unknown who is behind the attack and what the motives of the attackers were. The investigation is considering various versions. Liechtenstein is one of the largest financial centers in Europe, with a population of about 41,000 people. This means that the leak has affected the data of a significant portion of the country's residents. The state registry was created as part of international requirements to combat financial crimes, including money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The authorities of Liechtenstein continue to investigate the cyberattack and are determining who accessed the state data and for what purpose.
