Poor data sharing undermining EU cyber defences, auditors say
- On Monday, the European Court released a report finding that The European Union's response to major cyber incidents remains hampered by fragmented responsibilities, overlapping systems, and limited information-sharing.

An attack paralyses IT systems at airports in Berlin, Dublin and Brussels in 2025 and shows the vulnerability of cyberattacks. Independent auditors criticise gaps in the defence of the EU.
