Member of the European Parliament Daniel Freund has filed a criminal complaint against Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban for a cyber attack, claiming that the Hungarian government could be involved.

German MEP Daniel Freund has filed a criminal complaint against Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, accusing him of involvement in a cyber attack targeting him. The complaint was filed with the Krefeld Prosecutor's Office in Germany, with the support of the Society for Civil Rights (GFF).

Freund, a member of the European Parliament from the Greens, stated that last year, hackers attempted to install spyware on his devices using a phishing email. IT experts from the European Parliament suggest that the attack could be orchestrated by the Hungarian government, and Freund emphasized that if the suspicions are confirmed, it would represent a serious attack on the European Parliament. He criticized Orban's regime for its contempt for democracy and highlighted the importance of protecting privacy and democratic values in Europe. The complaint aims to clarify and prevent spyware attacks that violate confidentiality and IT legislation.
