The RansomHouse extortion group has targeted Namibia's defence establishment, according to a report from The Register. The country's national cyber team has confirmed that a breach took place, but has not confirmed whether the attackers exfiltrated data or simply encrypted systems.

The distinction matters for the response: stolen data can be leaked or sold, while encryption points to a pure ransomware play. The Register notes that the national cyber team's statement did not address that question.

The report is based on a single source, so no independent corroboration or differing accounts are available.
