Berlin Ransomware Leak Exposes State Secrets
Rhysida ransomware leaked 5.79 TB of Berlin state government data on the dark web after the city refused a 30 Bitcoin ransom.
The Rhysida ransomware group published 5.79 TB (about 1.44 million files) of Berlin state administration data on its leak site on August 28, 2026, after the city-state refused a 30 Bitcoin ransom. The claimed dataset includes personal data on 12,076 individuals, over 5,000 personnel files, payroll records, plaintext credentials for systems like PAYONE and Z_ADMIN, Bundesrat committee protocols, and documents allegedly containing state secrets. Leaked material reportedly covers national defense emergency plans, federal secret communication channels, a CBRN threat planning folder, and vulnerability analyses of Berlin's water supply. Berlin's government has activated a central crisis unit to review the leaked data and notify affected citizens and businesses.

Boston Scientific left nursing its bottom line after cyberattack
Boston Scientific says its August 25 network intrusion will materially hit third-quarter and full-year sales and earnings, likely missing guidance.
Boston Scientific detected unauthorized activity on its network on August 25 and took systems offline, disrupting order processing and shipping operations worldwide. In an SEC filing, the medical device maker warned of a material impact on Q3 and full-year results, making it unlikely to meet the net sales growth and adjusted EPS guidance issued in July. Its distribution network has been substantially restored, sterilization facilities are operational, manufacturing resumed at most sites, and an interruption affecting cardiac device remote-monitoring activations was resolved. The company has not revealed the attack vector, whether ransomware was involved, or whether data was stolen; no ransomware group has claimed responsibility and the investigation continues.
