The European Commission was the victim of a massive DDoS attack that brought down its internet access for hours on Thursday. Security experts at the European Commission expected new waves of cyber attacks in the coming days. The European cyber emergency response team (CERT-EU) was already alerted and it is working with the IT security team at the Commission to repeal any attack. The Commission is currently investigating the case and the investigation is ongoing. The attack occurred yesterday and according to an employee, the internal staff was not able to work during the afternoon.”]
