The European Parliament website was hit by a cyberattack claimed by pro-Russian hackers on November 23, shortly after lawmakers approved a resolution calling Moscow a "state sponsor of terrorism." "The European Parliament is under a sophisticated cyberattack. A pro-Kremlin group has claimed responsibility," the parliament's president, Roberta Metsola, said on Twitter. "Our IT experts are pushing back against it and protecting our systems. This, after we proclaimed Russia as a State-sponsor of terrorism. My response: #SlavaUkraini (Glory to Ukraine)."
