European Commission platform targeted by cyberattack

On March 24, 2026, the European Commission became the target of a cyberattack affecting the cloud infrastructure hosting the Europa.eu platform. This platform serves as the central hub for the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union, and other institutional bodies. Upon detection, the Commission activated response protocols to contain the incident, successfully regaining control shortly after. Preliminary findings suggest that some data may have been extracted from the affected public-facing websites. The Commission confirmed that while public infrastructure was impacted, internal systems remained unaffected by the breach. The full extent of the data leak is currently under investigation, and authorities have not yet identified the perpetrators. No specific group has claimed responsibility for the attack at this time.
