The Hungarian Development Center (MFK) is forced to reorganize its administration from scratch after a hacker attack destroyed its entire digital database in mid-July, news site 24.hu reports. Allegedly, the attack most likely came from North Korea.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs later confirmed the cyber attack but denied any data loss, stating the MFK has immediately shut down its systems following the detection of the hacking attempt.

The attack against the government agency was aimed at the server that stores all of its official documentation, contracts, invoices, corporate software, and essentially all of its digital data related to its activities, according to information gathered by weekly 168 Óra.

In their response to 24.hu the Foreign Ministry confirms that the Hungarian Development Center has indeed recently been affected by a cyber attack, however “due to the immediate and professional intervention, the center’s data has not been lost.” The mail system of MFK found that the government server was not damaged, the ministry adds.
