Serbian hackers hit Croatia, boasting on the dark web: "We have thousands of diagnoses and patient data!"

A Croatian cybersecurity expert, Leon Juranić, reported that his system ThreatLeap detected two posts by the Serbian hacking group INF Group on a dark web forum. The hackers claim they attacked the Croatian financial information portal Fininfo.hr and an unnamed healthcare institution. They allegedly shared 34,000 records from Fininfo.hr’s database and around 9,000 sensitive patient records from the healthcare facility. Juranić provided screenshots of these alleged posts on Facebook but noted that the identity of the healthcare institution and the authenticity of the data remain unconfirmed. INF Group, a nationalist-motivated Serbian hacking group, has conducted several cyberattacks against Croatian institutions since August 2026, including attacks on the Ministry of Labour, Pension System, Family, and Social Policy. These attacks included pro-Serbian messages and links to their Telegram channel. Unlike many cybercriminal groups, INF Group does not demand ransom payments but publicly shares stolen data on dark web forums and regional hacker platforms.
