This register will be accessible to designated authorities and financial institutions subject to anti-money laundering regulations, but will not be directly accessible to the public. The association warned the government that centralizing information on the ultimate owners of over 500,000 companies and other legal entities in one place will make it a highly attractive target for cybercriminals. The Swiss Bankers' Association (SBA) has also expressed separate concerns about cybersecurity and data protection issues related to the register. A similar registration system in Liechtenstein suffered a major data breach at the end of July. Unidentified hackers stole beneficial ownership data involving approximately 31,000 companies, foundations, and trusts. Authorities have not yet identified the attackers or determined their motives.
