Orbán Blames Tisa and Ukrainians for Leak of 200,000 Hungarians’ Data, Orders Probe

The dispute over the source of the breach remains unresolved, with no independent attribution released.

Overview

  • Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the published data were gathered by the opposition party Tisa and that Ukrainians were involved in handling the information.
  • Orbán called the exposure a national‑security threat and directed an immediate investigation, according to a video released by government spokesman Zoltán Kovács.
  • Tisa leader Péter Madjar said supporters’ personal details were stolen in a malicious cyberattack targeting the party’s app.
  • AFP reported the database was briefly accessible online before being removed, and noted that Madjar accused the government without presenting evidence.
  • Orbán’s statements drew on prior claims of foreign interference and followed his posting of an AI‑generated video that mocked President Volodymyr Zelensky with a so‑called spy app reference.
