Belgium’s Interior Ministry uncovers 2-year-long compromise of its network

Belgium’s Federal Public Service Interior (i.e., the country’s Interior Ministry) has suffered a ‘complex, sophisticated and targeted cyberattack’. The FPS Interior hosts databases related to the country’s police services, immigration affairs, the organization of the elections and the distribution of identity cards. The attacker broke in in April 2019, meaning that they did not exploit the Exchange flaws to get in. The attacker has access to local data, but no sensitive data has been stolen.
