Cyberattack on European Commission: Possible Data Breach at Europa.eu

The European Commission announced that it was the target of a cyberattack that affected its websites and digital infrastructure, including the Europa.eu platform. The attack was detected on Tuesday, and response protocols were immediately activated. There is evidence of a possible data breach, although the extent of the violation has not yet been determined. The attack did not affect the Commission's internal systems. Investigations are underway to determine the source of the attack and strengthen cybersecurity measures. The incident is part of a broader context of increasing cyber threats and follows a previous data breach at the European Parliament in 2024.
