Czech Foreign Ministry Targeted in State-Level Cyberattack (2025)


The Story and Damage 

  • In May 2025, the Czech Republic officially recognized a major cyber attack on it’s Foreign Ministry and critical infrastructure associated unclassified network. The intrusive activity started in 2022 and extensive investigation identified evidence of attribution to the People’s Republic of China linked APT31, a high-profile cyber espionage group associated with the Ministry of State Security. The attack caused unspecified but significant damage and operational disruption, prompting NATO and the EU to issue formal condemnations. 

Target Audience: Who is at Risk? 

This incident highlights vulnerabilities in: 

  • Foreign Ministries & Diplomatic Missions 
    Handling sensitive state-to-state communications, often through public and legacy infrastructure. 
  • National Security and Defense Agencies 
    Sovereign internal communications and interactions with international partners. 
  • Legislative and Executive Government Bodies 
    Communications, decisions, information, or affiliations meant to be secret. 
  • International Policy Think Tanks & Advisory Boards 
    Often targeted for insights, intellectual property, and influence operations. 

If your organization deals with foreign policy, sensitive communications, critical infrastructure, or high-value intellectual property you're a prime target for digital espionage - even on “unclassified” networks. 

Pain Points / Challenges 

  • Stealthy espionage can go undetected for a very long time. 
  • Government organizations often rely on susceptible legacy systems and infrastructure that are findable by savvy persistent threats. 
  • Geopolitical-facing organizations are often dispersed, under resourced, and have rigid IT structure. These factors, and their missions make them attractive targets. 
  • Response and attribution are usually very slow and complicated by diplomatic optics and intergovernmental coordination.
