Hackers target Ukrainian agency managing assets seized from sanctioned Russians
Ukraine's ARMA asset agency reported a cyberattack amid selecting a manager for seized IDS Ukraine assets linked to sanctioned Russians.
Ukraine's Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA), which manages assets seized from criminals and sanctioned individuals, said Tuesday it had been targeted by a cyberattack, with the SBU investigating. The attack coincided with preparations to select a manager for seized corporate rights in IDS Ukraine, a major beverage producer seized in late 2022 from Russian shareholders including sanctioned billionaire Mikhail Fridman. ARMA reported other suspected interference since spring, including unauthorized access to an internal database of agency officials, but did not attribute the attack or release technical details. In April, ARMA employees were targeted in a cyberespionage campaign attributed to Russia-linked APT28, which failed to penetrate internal systems.

Hackers expose donor data from Russian fundraisers for Ukrainians, political prisoners
Hackers breached the Stripe-WooCommerce integrations of Russian fundraisers Davayte and You Are Not Alone, exposing donor emails and partial card details.
Unknown hackers accessed the payment accounts of two Russian fundraising projects, Davayte and You Are Not Alone, in mid-August via a shared Stripe-WooCommerce integration used to run online auctions. Exposed data included donor email addresses and, in some cases, the last four digits of payment cards and issuing bank names; full card numbers, cardholder names, and donation details were not taken. Stripe blocked the unauthorized access before the entire donor email database could be downloaded and found no evidence of fraudulent transactions. Attribution remains unclear, with organizers unable to rule out Russian security services; both groups are designated 'undesirable' organizations in Russia, making donor identities sensitive, and a separate alleged leak of data from 669 Stripe merchants by a hacker named 'Satanic' has no confirmed connection.

Berlin cuts two state ministries off government network after security breach
Two Berlin state ministries were cut off from the city government network after a breach, disrupting housing benefit and education services.
Berlin's Senate Chancellery said two ministries, covering urban development/construction/housing and mobility/transport/climate/environment, have been isolated from the state network since Friday as a precaution after a discovered security breach. Broadcaster RBB reported, citing government sources, that attackers allegedly exploited a vulnerability in one ministry's IT systems, while state IT provider ITDZ Berlin was unaffected. Employees lost email and internet access and are communicating by phone, text message, and fax, and some district offices cannot process housing benefit and education assistance applications. No attribution, entry method, or data theft confirmation has been provided and the investigation is ongoing.
