Cyberattacks a top cause of EU wired Internet outages

Although cyberattacks caused just 6% of significant outages of public electronic
communications networks and services in the E.U. last year, they affected more
people than hardware failure, a much more common factor in service disruptions,
according to a report from the European Union Agency for Network and Information
Security.

vulnerability that was dependent on a Microsoft technology, Outside In, and an
Oracle middle-ware component.
