The Brandenburg Memorials Foundation has fallen victim to a ransomware attack that has rendered the IT systems of the affected institutions inoperable. This also raises the suspicion that data may have been compromised.

Among the memorial sites affected by the cyberattack are the memorials at Sachsenhausen and Ravensbrück. Currently, there is no detailed information available regarding the extent of the cyberattack.
