User Message: Belgian prosecutor probes alleged Chinese hacking of intelligence service
The Belgian federal prosecutor said on Wednesday it had started a probe into alleged Chinese hacking of Belgium’s intelligence service VSSE in November 2023, confirming an earlier report by Belgian daily Le Soir.
The Chinese embassy in Belgium did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Le Soir reported that for two years, hackers allegedly linked to Chinese espionage had exploited a breach in an American cyber company and gained access to 10% of the Belgian intelligence service’s emails. While classified data remained safe, the personal information of nearly half of the Belgian service’s members may have been compromised, the newspaper reported.
