At least 11 MPs hit by massive spam attack

“This incident involving spam emails has already been resolved,” Rytis Rainys, head of NKSC, told BNS.

“(Spam) filters have been fixed, and the Seimas members won’t receive such emails anymore,” he said.

According to the center, the spam that reached the systems of the Seimas office was sent from a botnet with a large range of IP addresses.
