The European Commission was the target of a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack last week. No loss of data was reported, but the attack led to a loss in man hours because the staff could not work for a very long time. The DDoS attack began in the afternoon and continued until late in the evening targeting ECs website and network gateways. Details of the identity and motive of the hackers were not available and EC did not reveal the action taken by it to counter the attacks.”]
