European Parliament Computer Network Breached

Orome1 writes "The computer network of the European Parliament has been targeted by a cyber attack that may or may not be linked to the attack against the European Commission and the External Action Service networks that took place a week ago. According to the Parliament's spokesmen, the attack was still ongoing yesterday morning and information technology services have put in place some security measures — such as blocking access to webmail."

Now they block access?

Webmail is one of the worst offenders in getting viruses. My brother works at a company that sells computer equipment and they had so many problems because their sales agents were clicking on all kinds of stupid shit in their personal email accounts.

I always blocked personal email unless it was expressly allowed, and even then I told the user one issue and its turned off.

I dont care if these are public officials. They want their public email, get it on their phones or somewhere else! I got shit to secure son!
