BERLIN (AP) — A cyberattack tapped the data of some 31,000 people in Liechtenstein’s register of people behind companies and foundations in the wealthy principality, the government said.
The “register of economic beneficiaries” was accessed at night from Wednesday into Thursday last week, the government said.
It said that the breach was noticed on Thursday, that measures were taken to secure data and the system taken offline.
The list of people behind companies, foundations and trusteeships is part of efforts to combat money laundering and terror financing.
The government set up a crisis unit over the weekend to investigate the attack.
