Romania's Presidential Election Annulled Over Russian Interference

/ 1 min read

Romania’s Presidential Election Annulled Due to Russian Interference following revelations of a covert social media campaign and cyberattacks aimed at influencing the vote. The Constitutional Court’s decision to annul the election has delayed the runoff, as $381,000 was spent on TikTok promotions for right-wing candidate Călin Georgescu without proper disclosure. In cybersecurity news, the Brain Cipher ransomware group claimed a breach of Deloitte UK, alleging the theft of 1TB of data, while Costa Rica’s RECOPE faced operational disruptions due to a ransomware attack. Additionally, Ukrainian intelligence executed a DDoS attack against Gazprombank, and vulnerabilities in Windows and Progress WhatsUp Gold were reported, prompting urgent updates for affected systems.
