The attack on the National Revenue Agency happened at the end of June and was probably carried out from abroad, officials said

Hackers have stolen the financial data of millions of Bulgarians from the country’s tax agency, the government said on Tuesday, in an attack that one researcher said may have compromised nearly every adult’s personal records.

Finance Minister Vladislav Goranov said about 3 per cent of the agency’s database was affected, involving millions of records in the nation of seven million.
