A Portuguese Information Systems (SIRP) confirmed a cyberattack that allowed unauthorized access to non-classified data from its servers and other entities. The breach occurred in 2025 when a developer service provider was hired to build public websites for SIRP, SIS, and the Strategic Defense Information Service (SIED). The attack succeeded in retrieving data from a development server used for testing, which was not classified. The SIRP stated that the acquired data includes information from 120 public and private entities, though the specific nature of this data remains unclear.
