Press / market disclosure — not a breach-notification filing
A media or market posting that confirms an incident but carries no breach-notification fields, so compliance clocks aren't assessable. The summary below is extracted from the coverage — verify against the source.
Cyberattack affects services of Machelen municipality: 'Presumably no personal data stolen' | VRT NWS News. Machelen: The local government of Machelen is facing a cybersecurity incident that has paralyzed its digital systems since Friday, September 11, 2026. The attack, which appears to have occurred via 'phishing', forced the closure of municipal counters. Authorities are investigating to determine the extent of the damage and ensure that no personal data has been disclosed. Although basic digital services (website, e-loket) remain accessible through other systems, email communication is interrupted.
