Romanian Land Registry Agency ANCPI Allegedly Breached and Hit With Ransomware, Citizen Data and Source Code for Sale
A threat actor using the alias bytetobreach is advertising the sale of data they claim to have stolen from ANCPI, Romania's National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration, which maintains the country's land-registry and property records. The actor describes a wide-ranging compromise of ANCPI's internal networks, claiming to have taken citizens' cadastre data along with a copy of the agency's source-code repositories for its core systems, and to have deployed ransomware. The actor links the incident to a recent government announcement that ANCPI's IT systems were shut down. The claim is unverified.

⚠Potential impact
A compromise of a national land-registry agency is severe because its records underpin property ownership, transactions, and citizens' personal and address data across the entire country. Theft of the agency's source code would expose how its core systems work and aid future attacks, while a ransomware deployment against government infrastructure can disrupt essential public services, consistent with the reported shutdown of ANCPI's IT systems. If genuine, the exposure carries lasting risks of fraud, property-related crime, and identity theft for affected citizens. The claim is unverified.
iStatus
UnverifiedThis is a sale listing that also describes a network intrusion and a claimed ransomware deployment, promoted with multiple distribution and contact channels. The actor separately references a government notice about an IT-systems shutdown at the agency. The claim is unverified and ANCPI has not publicly confirmed the extent of any breach.
