regio-nord.com REGiO-Nord mbH (HRB 1203, Amtsgericht Neuruppin) is a municipal regional-development company in Gransee, Brandenburg, founded 2008–2009 to run the shared "Mittelzentrum" of Gransee–Zehdenick–Fürstenberg/Havel. It is 100% publicly owned (Zehdenick 1/3, Fürstenberg 1/3, Gransee 1/6, Amt Gransee 1/6), led by sole managing director Olaf Bechert with a staff of ~5 plus two tourist info offices. Its real money flows through the Kooperationsfonds — ~€8.9M in projects since 2008, with €538K spent in 2025 and €563K budgeted for 2026, of which €312K funds the company's own coordination work. Four workstreams: education (teacher recruitment, apprenticeship exchange), economy (business services, doctor recruitment, arztidylle.de), tourism (two info stations, region portals, RegioApp), and regional marketing (REGiO-Card, library network). Finances are project-transparent (open budget reports) but the GmbH's own annual accounts are only public through 2022 — request 2023–2025.

Not assessable
Evidence ladder
Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.
Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.
Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.
Unlocks: materiality, stated response, full audit trail. Ceiling removed.
No regulatory filing corroborates this yet — it is the attacker's own assertion. Watch this entity to be notified the moment a filing corroborates or contradicts it.
