Cyprus Under Cyberattack: Data Breaches at Foreign Ministry and EU

Cyprus is experiencing a surge in cyberattacks, with almost all government services targeted in recent days and ransom demands being made. Data has been stolen, including databases from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Simultaneously, the European Commission is facing a serious cyberattack that has impacted its websites and digital infrastructure, with indications of sensitive data leaks from the Europa.eu platform. In both cases, measures have been taken to mitigate the attacks, but the extent of the damage and data breaches are under investigation.
