The EU Parliament’s information systems are also being targeted in an attack, officials say. The attacks have successfully penetrated the Parliament’s networks in what appears to be an effort at “snooping around” for information. The Commission experienced a “serious” cyber attack as officials were preparing for an E.U. summit in Brussels to discuss the future of the union’s structure and unified operations in regards to multiple global political events. The security measures mentioned include the disabling of any access to email services.
