Berlin, Germany Listed by Rhysida Ransomware Group

If you are a customer of Berlin, Germany, here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.

Berlin, Germany Listed by Rhysida Ransomware Group

Your passwords from Berlin, Germany accounts have been listed in plaintext on a ransomware group's leak site. Because they were stored reversibly rather than properly hashed, every credential in the dump must be treated as already known to the attackers and anyone they shared it with.

Watch Berlin, Germany

Get alerted the next time Berlin, Germany files a breach with any US regulator — the filing, dated and sourced. A free single-company slice of Signals; no account needed.

We’ll email you only about Berlin, Germany’s future breach filings and how to watch a whole vendor list — not general marketing. Unsubscribe any time.

Watching your whole vendor list (50 to 500 companies, by tier) is GalaxyWarden Signals.

That single fact changes the urgency. Passwords you used for any Berlin-related service, especially those resembling the ones in the "password safes," GebüdeAtlas, PAYONE ePayment database, or administrative accounts, should be considered compromised right now. The group Rhysida has listed Berlin, Germany on its leak site as of August 28, 2026. The organisation has not publicly confirmed the claim as of writing.

Plaintext Credentials Change What You Must Do Immediately

Most breach coverage talks about hashed passwords that still need cracking. This listing is different. The record shows credentials recoverable in readable form, including leadership accounts and entries marked Z_ADMIN. Rotation is urgent. Treat every password you ever used on these systems, and any similar ones, as known. Change them everywhere they were reused. This is not theoretical; the attackers published them openly.

The filing does not enumerate specific categories of information that apply to any one individual, nor does it state how many people were affected. It lists file counts across maps, legal documents, financial records, contracts, HR files, and other directories, along with a smaller set of emails, phone numbers, and IBANs. These details come from the attacker's own description and remain unverified.

Unverified claim — what this report is

This page documents a public listing on a ransomware/extortion group’s leak site, tracked via public threat-intelligence sources. A listing is the attacker’s claim. GalaxyWarden aggregates and reports such claims; we have not independently verified that a breach occurred, what data (if any) was taken, or the accuracy of anything the group asserts, and the named organisation has not necessarily confirmed the incident. Sections above describe what the listing shows and the group’s documented history — not verified findings about the named organisation. If you represent this organisation and believe anything here is inaccurate, tell us and we’ll review it promptly.

Editorial & sourcing policy

GalaxyWarden is a breach-monitoring service and news aggregator. We do not exfiltrate, host, purchase, or redistribute stolen data. Breach information is compiled from publicly accessible sources and threat-intelligence platforms, and is reported as claims attributed to their source. We promptly correct or remove material shown to be inaccurate — see our content & takedown policy or write to support@galaxywarden.com.
