Cyberattack on Europa.eu Platform: Data Breach Investigation

The European Commission announced that the Europa.eu platform, the central hub for EU institutions, was hit by a cyberattack on Tuesday. Authorities are investigating a potential data breach.

Response protocols were immediately activated, and the spread of the attack was contained. However, there are indications that a data leak may have occurred from the affected websites.

The attack affected the Europa.eu platform, which hosts the websites of the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the European Union. The Commission's internal systems were not affected.

Investigations to identify the perpetrators are ongoing. The European Commission has begun communicating with the institutions that may have been affected and will proceed with a technical analysis of the incident.

In 2024, the European Parliament suffered a serious data breach, highlighting the challenges in the field of cybersecurity. CERT-EU is responsible for protecting the EU's digital infrastructure.
