Romania races to restore land registry after cyberattack disrupts property market
Romania's land registry agency is still recovering from a cyberattack it called "the most serious technical incident in the institution's history."
Romania's land registry agency said Monday that a cyberattack that took out the country's digital registry systems last week had not compromised its technical and legal databases — the core records containing cadastral information such as property boundaries, maps, as well as legal information including ownership and mortgages.
The National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration (ANCPI) said it is continuing efforts to restore services that have been offline for nearly a week, bringing real estate transactions across the country to a standstill.
According to its statement, the agency has begun migrating its applications to the Romanian government cloud, a process expected to finish on Wednesday, after which authorities will verify the integrity of the systems before gradually restoring services.
