Reuters: Russian hackers gained access to dozens of Romanian Air Force emails

Update: In a reaction to the revelations, Romania’s Defense Ministry said on Wednesday, April 15, that the compromised email addresses did not contain classified data. According to the institution, the accounts were used for administrative activities and for the circulation of public information.

The security breach was first discovered by Romanian authorities in March 2025 and isolated within 24 hours, the same source mentioned. “The targeted data were unclassified, used routinely for administrative activities and for the circulation of public information, so there was no possibility of accessing or exfiltrating classified data,” the ministry explained in a statement cited by Agerpres.
