Brussels (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – After the Czech Republic identified China as the culprit behind a harmful cyber attack on the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the European Union has shown support country.

According to reports, the cyberattack on the Czech Republic’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs was a prolonged and sophisticated espionage campaign that began in 2022. It targeted an unclassified communication network within the ministry, allowing hackers to read thousands of unclassified emails exchanged between Czech embassies and EU institutions.
How has the EU responded to Czechia’s accusations?

She stated that the European Union condemned these attacks, which she argued were against internationally established norms for how states should function in cyberspace.
“We urge all nations, China included, to avoid such actions behaviour,”
Kallas stated.
“Countries should not allow their environment to be manipulated for harmful cyber actions.”
She said the European Union was prepared to take additional steps, if necessary, to prevent, discourage, or address negative conduct in cyberspace.
