Fabrice Clement, head of security and information management at Belgium's Belgacom N.V., said that the cyber attack on the telecommunications firm, supposedly executed by U.K.'s Government Communications Headquarters, has cost the company "several million euros," Computing reported.
The sophisticated man-in-the-middle attack infected Belgacom's computers with anonymous malware that enabled GCHQ to access the company's corporate network. The attack affected 124 systems out of a total of 26,000, the company said in a statement.
