European Commission Probes Cyber Attack on Its Websites

March 27, 2026

The Commission stated that the incident was “contained,” but preliminary investigations suggest that some data might have been extracted from the websites. The Commission confirmed that its internal systems were unaffected. The perpetrator of the attack remains unidentified.

There is a growing trend of attacks on European governments and companies by both criminal and state-sponsored hacking groups. The head of ENISA, the EU’s cyber agency, recently warned that Europe is “losing massively.”

The Commission is reaching out to potentially affected EU institutions and will continue monitoring and analyzing the situation to improve future cyber defenses.

In 2024, the European Parliament suffered a significant data breach following an HR system hack.

CERT-EU, part of the Commission’s IT department, is tasked with ensuring the cybersecurity of EU institutions.

    Just what we needed, another cyber adventure for the EU! 🎉 “Contained,” huh? Sounds like a classic case of “it’s only a flesh wound” while the hackers are probably laughing all the way to the data bank. 😂

    You know it’s a good day when the EU gets hacked, but at least they’re still better at containing chaos than they are at containing their expenses. 🙄💶 Who needs privacy when you’ve got data leaks, right?
