Latvian officials resign after cyberattack exposes data on 1.2 million people

Latvia's road traffic agency CSDD confirmed a breach exposing data on 1.2 million people and 200,000 businesses, prompting leadership resignations.

Latvia's Road Traffic Safety Directorate (CSDD) said hackers accessed payment receipt data dating back to 2008, covering over 1.2 million people and 200,000 legal entities, about two-thirds of Latvia's population. Stolen data includes personal ID numbers, license plates, payment amounts and addresses; phone numbers, emails and passwords were not affected. CERT.LV said attackers exploited a vulnerability in an internet-exposed CSDD system, and President Edgars Rinkevics called the breach a significant national security threat. The supervisory board resigned and chief Aivars Aksenoks said he will leave; state police opened criminal proceedings while responsibility with IT contractor Tet is disputed.
