Incidents at Meo were caused by denial of service attack

SAPO Notícias15 September 2026 at 17:24

The incidents that affected Meo's services were caused by a denial of service attack. This type of attack aims to overwhelm a company's systems, making services unavailable to legitimate users.

The telecommunications company Meo was the entity affected by this incident. The Portuguese operator's services were compromised during the attack period.

A company source stated that there was no intrusion into Meo's systems during the incident. According to the same source, no unauthorized access was made to the company's or its customers' data, which means that users' personal and financial information was not compromised.

Why this matters

Readers who are Meo customers may have experienced service interruptions and now know it was a deliberate external attack, not an internal failure. The company reinforces that personal data and account information were not compromised, which is relevant for user trust. This type of attack on telecommunications operators may be part of a broader trend of cyber threats in Portugal.
