The European Union is investigating a cyberattack of its diplomatic communications, allegedly by Chinese hackers, that revealed EU concern about U.S. Donald Trump, Russia and Iran, the bloc said on Wednesday.
"The Council Secretariat is aware of allegations regarding a potential leak of sensitive information and is actively investigating the issue," the body that represents EU governments in Brussels said in a statement.
The Secretariat declined comment further but said it "takes the security of its facilities, including its IT systems, extremely seriously," referring to concerns about vulnerabilities in its data systems across 28 EU states.
