CERT.LV (Latvia national CERT)
cert-lv · A · active
National CERT of Latvia; publishes incident bulletins that mirror the affected authority's own statements verbatim in Latvian, which is how the CSDD breach record (intrusion window, record counts, data categories taken and not taken) was recovered on 2026-08-20. Added as this run's single new candidate: an EU member-state national CERT was cited by a published entry while being entirely untracked. FETCH -> tools/fetch_source.py url on the per-article path https://cert.lv/lv/<year>/<month>/<slug> returned a clean full body; the listing at /lv/incidenti was not exercised this run. Content is Latvian — translate, and cite the native title with an English gloss. | 2026-08-23: promoted candidate -> active on the digest's promotion_due count (3 contributing runs, most recently 2026-08-20T0409Z-intel). Authoritative national-CERT record for Latvian incidents; mirrors affected authorities' own statements.
