Hackers from the Rhysida ransomware group demanded 30 BTC (about $2.4 million) from Berlin's state government after breaching two Senate departments on August 14. Berlin refused to pay the ransom, prioritizing public safety, and the hackers published 5.7 terabytes of stolen data on the dark web after the deadline expired on September 4. The breach affected housing and transport departments, causing delays in benefits and services, and officials are now investigating the leaked data while warning residents to watch for fraud. This incident highlights a growing trend of ransomware attacks where victims are increasingly refusing to pay demands.
