The European Parliament’s website was knocked offline following what its president, Roberta Metsola, described as “a sophisticated cyberattack.” She said a pro-Kremlin group claimed to be behind the attack.
Metsola said the parliament’s IT experts were pushing back against the attack and “protecting our systems” in a tweet on Wednesday. The website was sporadically online later that day.
