Mallorca Luxury Agent’s Website Restored After Week-Long Hacker Attack

The outage shut down Marcel Remus’s main sales channel and risks large commission losses as investigators and lawyers work to find the perpetrators.

Overview

  • Marcel Remus says his public property website was disabled by a hacker for about one week and that he relaunched a new site on June 19, 2026.
  • He immediately hired a Madrid law firm and IT security specialists to recover data and to preserve forensic traces for attribution.
  • Remus warned the outage could translate into six-figure to million-euro losses, giving the example of €600,000 in missed commission on a €10 million villa sale at 6 percent.
  • The identity of the attackers remains unknown and investigators are still examining server traces and recovery options.
  • Remus points to earlier acts of sabotage such as glued door locks and vandalized posters and says he cannot rule out rivals, a claim that media report as unproven and that the legal inquiry aims to clarify.
