Profile narrative
The Liechtenstein Register of Economic Beneficiaries is responsible for maintaining the register of economic beneficiaries for entities established in Liechtenstein. It collects and stores personal data relating to individuals who are identified as beneficial owners of companies, foundations and trusteeships operating within the jurisdiction. It holds data on the natural persons behind companies, foundations and trusteeships. Its headquarters are situated in Liechtenstein.
In July 2026, the register experienced a cyberattack that resulted in unauthorized access to its stored data. The breach exposed the personal data of approximately 31,000 individuals linked to the companies, foundations and trusteeships recorded in the register. After detecting the intrusion, officials took the system offline, secured the remaining data and established a crisis unit to investigate the incident. Authorities confirmed that there was no indication that any of the accessed information had been altered or deleted during the attack. The incident provides a concrete measure of the register’s data volume, indicating that it holds details on approximately thirty‑one thousand individuals.
The organisation’s function is limited to maintaining the register of economic beneficiaries. Being based in Liechtenstein, it operates under the legal framework of the principality.
