No evidence of data misuse.


The offices for the Slovakian land registry were hit by a suspected ransomware attack last week.

According to The Record, Slovakia's Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre Office (UGKK) saw systems taken down and offices closed due to the intrusion.

Agriculture Minister Richard Takac says this is the most significant cyber intrusion faced by the office, who noted that backups were being used to recover impacted systems. He also reassured the public of a lack of evidence concerning data misuse.
