Real estate markets scramble following cyberattack on listings provider

Cyberattack on a California company providing Multiple Listing Services (MLS) for real estate.

Key points:

1. A cyberattack on Rapattoni, a software and services provider, has disrupted MLS services for home buyers, sellers, agents, and listing websites in the US.
2. MLS is a crucial online service that tracks home listings, providing data on homes coming to the market, purchase offers, and sales.
3. The attack has rendered MLS systems unusable, preventing the listing of new homes, price changes, marking homes as pending/sold, and listing open houses.
