  1. “Two years ago, an article by Direkt36 revealed that Russian secret services had carried out a large-scale cyber attack against the IT network of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. 444 has now presented documents that not only provide further evidence that these attacks occurred, but also prove that the Foreign Ministry was well aware of the attacks: a letter from the head of one of Hungary’s secret services clearly describes the extent of the cyberattacks and also clearly states who the perpetrators were.

    On Monday, 13 May 2024, a few days after Viktor Orbán told Telex that Hungary has the best national security system in Europe, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó hosted a public forum in Pilis. 444 asked the foreign minister how it was possible, if what Orbán said was true, that Russian hackers had penetrated the Foreign Ministry’s system. Szijjártó replied that he was not aware of such a thing.

    He [Szijjártó] also questioned whether the newspaper had obtained the documents legally; Szijjártó suggested that the information may have been obtained with the help of external intelligence services. “I think you should be careful,” he said at the end of the interview.”
