Berlin investigates new data leak after hackers publish stolen login credentials

German authorities are investigating another trove of data stolen from Berlin’s government network after hackers published login credentials and other information over the weekend.

The latest release follows a cyberattack discovered in mid-August that compromised two Berlin ministries responsible for urban development and housing, and for transport, mobility, climate protection and the environment.

Berlin’s government said Sunday that the newly released data includes login credentials but did not say what systems they could be used to access or whether they were still valid. The authorities have not attributed the attack to a specific threat actor.

The city’s urban development ministry has strengthened security measures introduced after an earlier data leak, which officials said could temporarily limit access to some of its applications.
