Localmind Confirms Major Data Breach Affecting 150+ Entities

Localmind, an AI operator, has confirmed a significant data breach affecting over 150 entities, mainly in Austria and Germany. The breach occurred due to neglected security measures, exposing sensitive information, including access data to servers.

An anonymous researcher accessed Localmind's systems and customer data, including email accounts, CRM, ERP systems, and internal knowledge databases. The hacker, who initially did not inform Localmind, concluded that the company showed astonishing negligence in implementing basic social security measures.

Some affected companies stated they only used non-critical data or test systems on Localmind's platform. However, the breach highlights the potential risks even when using non-critical data. Localmind is currently working on documenting the facts and addressing the social security administration issues. They have shut down relevant systems and are investigating the incident, providing support to affected customers.

Over 150 entities were potentially affected by the data leak. Localmind has confirmed the breach and is taking steps to rectify the situation. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of robust security measures in protecting sensitive data.
