NATO is facing persistent cyber threats and takes cyber security seriously.

NATO cyber experts are actively addressing incidents affecting some unclassified NATO websites.

There has been no impact on NATO missions, operations and military deployments.

On Sunday, the SiegedSec crew claimed it broke into six NATO web portals: the alliance's Joint Advanced Distributed Learning e-learning website; the NATO Lessons Learned Portal, from which the gang said it stole 331 documents; the Logistics Network Portal; the Communities of Interest Cooperation Portal; the NATO Investment Division Portal; and the NATO Standardization Office.

"The astonishing siegedsec hackers have struck NATO once more!!1!!!," the crew wrote, bragging: "NATO: 0. Siegedsec: 2.".

The team is referring to its earlier NATO intrusion in July, during which it claimed it swiped information belonging to 31 nations and leaked 845MB of data from the alliance's the Communities of Interest Cooperation Portal.
