Komission tietokoneet hakkeroitiin, uusi tietoturvayksikkö perusteilla

[RTT]

EU institutions are setting up a joint team of internet security experts some three months after the European Commission was hacked in a bid to get sensitive data on external relations and monetary issues.

The attack in March - just a few days ahead of an EU summit on military strikes in Libya and on the eurozone debt crisis - saw commission systems attacked "in a very well-organised and targeted way, focusing on three or four keywords on external relations and monetary issues," according to a senior EU official.

"It was probably espionage, but this is very difficult to prove. We don't expect to ever know if it was the case or not," the source added.

The contact did not reveal if any data was actually stolen. The commission has not launched a criminal investigation at this stage and is still assessing the level of damage.

It has in the past three months beefed-up its email security.
