RT by @MarietjeSchaake: 💥@444hu obtained an internal report by the head of Hungary's signals intelligence agency, written in September 2021, proving that everything I reported back in March 2022 on how Russian hackers infiltrated our MFA was true. And that the Orbán government lied, and covered it up.
"Due to the extensive impact, more than 4,000 workstations and over 930 servers have become unreliable. (...) The attacks that occurred in the recent period can be attributed to the APT 28 (Russian, GRU) and APT 29 (Russian, FSB or SVR) groups based on the attack attributes," director-general of the Hungarian Special Service on National Security (SSNS or NBSZ) Hedvig Szabó wrote in the leaked document.
This report also proves that, as I wrote back then, Hungarian MFA Péter Szijjártó indeed accepted the Russian Order of Friendship from Sergey Lavrov in December 2021 despite fully knowing that his own ministry's networks had been successfully attacked by Russia, and tons of sensitive information had been stolen.
