EU diplomats' communications network compromised

The cybersecurity company Area 1 has published a report indicating that it has discovered a security breach, present for years in the diplomatic communications network of the European Union.

The committed material provides an insight into Europe's struggle to understand the political turmoil surrounding three continents and also includes memorandums of talks with leaders from Saudi Arabia, Israel and other countries.

It appears that the techniques used by the attackers, over a period of approximately three years, resembled those used by an elite unit of the Chinese Liberation Army.
