MEO target of "mass attack". Operator ensures no customer data was accessed

CNN Portugal14 September 2026 at 22:05

MEO, the Portuguese telecommunications operator, was targeted by a "mass attack", according to information released by the company itself. The incident represents a threat to the digital security of one of the country's largest operators.

The company guarantees that no customer data was accessed during the attack. This statement is relevant to reassure MEO service users, who may have concerns about the security of their personal information.

The operator reported that it managed to "quickly control the situation" after detecting the attack. This rapid response was decisive in minimizing the impacts of the incident on the company's operations.

After MEO's intervention, service stability was restored. The company guarantees that systems returned to normal operation, although the incident has highlighted the risks associated with cyber attacks in the telecommunications sector.

Why this matters

This matters to MEO customers in Portugal who rely on the operator for internet, mobile, and TV services. While the company assures no customer data was compromised, such attacks can disrupt service availability and raise concerns about the security of telecommunications infrastructure.
