•[ malware, data leak, government ]
CTIE detected malware on a system used to manage government mobile-device access and later said an external actor accessed device-holder information and device characteristics. The temporary loss of mobile access to internal state services resulted from CTIE isolating the affected system as a precaution.

•[ cyberattack, data leak, vulnerability exploitation ]
The European Commission disclosed it detected traces of a cyberattack on January 30, 2026 targeting its central infrastructure used to manage staff mobile devices. The Commission said the incident may have resulted in access to staff names and mobile phone numbers for some employees, but it had not found evidence that managed mobile devices themselves were compromised. The Commission stated its response contained and cleaned the system within nine hours. The article notes the Commission did not disclose the initial access method, but the incident appeared linked to attacks exploiting vulnerabilities in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM).
Valtori (Finnish Government ICT Centre) mobile device management service
January 30, 2026
•[ data breach, mobile device management, zero-day vulnerability ]
Valtori reported a data breach identified on January 30, 2026 in the mobile device management service it provides to Finlands government shared ICT services. Valtori said the attacker accessed information used to operate the service, including names, work email addresses, phone numbers, and device details, and that investigation later found the scope could involve a substantially larger number of users (about 50,000). Valtori stated no data stored directly on mobile devices was compromised. The root cause was described as exploitation of a zero-day vulnerability in a commercial mobile management product, compounded by the systems failure to permanently delete historical data.
