Detailed forensic examinations conducted by a leading Slovakia-based cybersecurity firm clearly revealed the scope and targets of the attack. In the infiltration attempt detected to have been carried out in December 2025, it was determined that the attackers acted with targeting and specifically collected sensitive email correspondence regarding NATO and EU integration. Such operations prove once again that, in the modern warfare concept, cyberspace has now become a much more strategic intelligence-gathering area than traditional front lines.
