Brandywine Realty Trust says data stolen in ransomware attack


The realty trust giant said described the incident as consistent with a ransomware attack, and said the cybercriminals stole internal data.

In a filing with regulators on Tuesday, the Philadelphia-based Brandywine described the cybersecurity incident as unauthorized access and the “deployment of encryption” on its internal corporate IT systems, consistent with a ransomware attack. Brandywine said the cyberattack caused disruption to the company’s business applications that support its operations and corporate functions, including its financial reporting systems. Brandywine is one of the largest real estate trusts (REIT) in the United States, with a portfolio of about 70 properties across Austin, Philadelphia, and Washington DC as of its last earnings report in April.
