The European Parliament has resumed normal e-mail service following a suspected cyber attack. An attack on the Parliament’s systems is thought to have begun on March 24, two days after the European Commission and the European Union’s External Action Service detected a sustained and targeted cyber attack on their own systems. The Parliament and the Commission run on totally separate networks and it seems unlikely that the two attacks were linked given the differences in scale and focus of the attacks. The high levels of activity we were seeing were due to the way in which some mobile devices connect to our webmail system.”]
