The register contains information on individuals behind companies, foundations, and trusts in the country.\n\nThe breach was detected on Thursday after the data was accessed overnight from Wednesday, according to the Associated Press. The government took measures to secure the data and removed the system from the internet.\n\nThe government has formed a crisis unit to investigate the attack. The list of people behind companies and foundations is part of Liechtenstein's efforts to combat money laundering and terror financing.",
