The EU Agency for Cybersecurity, ENISA is aware of disinformation circulating via social media and various messaging apps that put ENISA’s name in the context of the power outage in parts of Southern Europe, unduly claiming a cyberattack as well as additional disinformation regarding an alleged cyberattack on European banks.
At this stage, national authorities across the EU Member States are still investigating the root causes of the power outage. Disinformation campaigns will also likely come under scrutiny in due time.
ENISA calls on everyone to be vigilant and recommends to always consult official sources to confirm information.
