MEO target of massive attack. But guarantees no access to customer data

Notícias de Coimbra15 September 2026 at 07:17

MEO announced on Monday that it was the target of a "massive attack" that caused inconveniences to its services. The telecommunications company guarantees that, despite the attack, there was no access to customer data.

The attack caused disruptions to MEO's services, potentially affecting thousands of users. The company chose to publicly communicate the incident to reassure its customers.

The assurance given by MEO that customer data was not compromised is a central point in the company's communication following the incident.

This type of massive attack on technological infrastructure has become increasingly common, with companies reinforcing their security measures following similar incidents.

Why this matters

MEO customers in Portugal may have experienced telecommunications service interruptions during the attack. The company guarantees that customer data was not compromised, but incidents of this nature always raise concerns about digital security and the need for more robust protection measures on the part of operators.
