However, in an update on the investigation into the incident, the EBA said the email infrastructure has been secured and at this stage it's believed "no data extraction has been performed" and there's "no indication to think that the breach has gone beyond our email servers".

"Since it became aware of the vulnerabilities, the EBA has taken a proactive approach and carried out a thorough assessment to appropriately and effectively detect any network intrusion that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of its systems and data," the EBA said in a statement.
