AI Summary

The Rhysida ransomware gang has listed Berlin's city administration on its data leak site and claimed exfiltration of over 5TB of data including personal information and credentials. Berlin's governing mayor Kai Wegner publicly confirmed the breach — discovered in mid-August — and stated the city will not pay the ransom demand, a stance that signals likely public data exposure.
