Hungary’s State Treasury: Cyberattack hits Hungary’s State Treasury as experts trace attack to Russian servers

Hungarian State Treasury Hit by Cyberattack Linked to Russian Servers

Hungary’s State Treasury has confirmed a cyberattack targeting the IT infrastructure of its Agriculture and Rural Development Division, the National Paying Agency responsible for managing agricultural and rural development funds. Preliminary findings suggest the attack originated from Russian servers.

Upon detection, IT specialists swiftly isolated infected servers to contain the breach. While no customer data was compromised and no evidence of data loss has been found, the attack encrypted files on certain employee computers, indicating the use of ransomware or similar malware.

The incident is under investigation by Hungary’s National Cyber Security Centre, working alongside Treasury experts to restore secure operations. Authorities, including the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (NAIH), the National Bureau of Investigation, and the Special Service for National Security, have been notified.

As a precaution, some electronic services remain temporarily limited, with the Treasury acknowledging disruptions and ongoing recovery efforts. While the attack’s origin points to Russian servers, no specific group or individuals have been publicly identified, and the investigation continues.
