-
Financial Impact Expected to Be Immaterial

Analysis · NYAX · Technology
Nayax has completed its investigation into the July 8 cybersecurity incident, confirming systems are now free of unauthorized access and core operations were never disrupted. The exfiltrated data—mainly payment transaction records—lacks sensitive authentication details, and digital wallet tokens used in many transactions are worthless if disclosed. Critically, the board refused to pay criminal extortion demands, a decision that protects long-term interests but could invite further attacks. While costs are still being tallied, the company does not expect a material financial hit, and all customer funds remain untouched. This update materially reduces uncertainty around the incident's impact.
