The European Parliament network has fallen under cyber-attack, leading to a suspension of webmail and other security restrictions.

The assault, which has led to the suspension of webmail access in Strasbourg, comes after attacks against the European Commission and the External Action Service networks.

The Parliament and the Commission run over separate networks. The attack on the parliamentary network was reportedly detected on 24 March, two days after problems with the Commission's Microsoft Exchange email server system first emerged.

RE: European Parliament Bounces Back from Suspected Cyberattack

The European Parliament has resumed normal email service following a suspected cyberattack.

An attack on the Parliament's systems is thought to have begun on March 24, two days after the European Commission and the European Union's External Action Service detected a sustained and targeted cyberattack on their own systems.
