Belgian authorities have opened an investigation into two possible
hacking incidents at the office of Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo.
The federal prosecutor's office said Wednesday it was too early to
tell whether the incidents were aimed at simply sabotaging the premier's
computer system or whether they could also be linked to spying.
Wenke Roggen of the prosecution's office said the complaints from the prime minister's office had come in last month.
Recently, some European countries have complained about secret
surveillance of their top officials and citizens in the wake of
revelations about a far-reaching spying program by the U.S. National
Security Agency.
Last week, Finland, another European Union nation, said its computer
networks have been widely hacked but said no highly sensitive
information was lost.
