Authorities in Greece said the country’s land registry website had been subjected to a major cyberattack with hundreds of attempted entries, without compromising key data.
“Over 400 attacks on the land registry’s information systems were recorded this week,” the ministry of digital governance said in a statement.
It added that the unidentified hackers had failed to access the database.
While they managed to gain entry to a security backup the hackers were unable to exfiltrate data to a server outside Greece, the ministry said.
Some internal documents were stolen from staff terminals, but citizens’ private data is safe, the statement insisted.
No ransomware software has been detected to date, the statement said.
