## Resource

Berlin’s city government suffered a massive cyberattack exposing 1.4 million records after refusing to pay ransom demands from hackers Rhysida, who infiltrated the system via phishing. The breach compromised critical infrastructure data—including power plants, fuel storage, emergency systems, prisons, and water treatment—potentially endangering millions. Mayor Kai Wegner vowed no blackmail, launching a federal-backed response to assist victims. Thankfully, upcoming state elections on September 20th remain secure.
