Cyberattack on IT company compromises unclassified data from Portuguese intelligence services
A cyberattack hit a server used for software development and testing by an external contractor hired in 2025 to design the public-facing websites for Portugal's intelligence agencies (SIRP, SIS, and SIED). The breach involved unclassified data.
Why it matters
While the incident involves intelligence services, it specifically concerns public-facing websites and unclassified data managed by an external IT provider; it indicates a security vulnerability at a government contractor rather than a direct threat to residents' personal data or physical security.ExpressoRead original ↗
