The Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI) thwarted a cyber attack by the Russian group APT TURLA aimed at compromising a government institution. The attack exploited vulnerabilities in Microsoft systems but did not result in data breaches. SRI's Cyberint Center identified and countered the attack in December 2025, ensuring the affected email service was restored. The agency has informed legal beneficiaries and cooperated with European intelligence partners. Ongoing investigations are targeting other related cyber campaigns by Russia. In April, President Nicușor Dan highlighted the need for enhanced cybersecurity in Romania amid ongoing hybrid warfare from Russia.
