Disruptive digital attacks many traced to Russia-backed groups have doubled in the European Union in 2024 and are also targeting election-related services, according to the EUs top cybersecurity official.
Citizens from the 27 EU member states will vote June 6-9 for lawmakers in the European Parliament in elections that will also shape the EUs executive Commission. Elections, also due in the United States, Britain and multiple other countries, have alerted security agencies to the threat of disruption campaigns funded by adversaries.
The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, ENISA, has led exercises and intense consultations to harden the resilience of election-related agencies in the EU for the past seven months. In an annual report for 2023, the agency noted a surge in ransomware attacks and incidents targeting public institutions.
