Bulgaria ’s Finance Minister Vladislav Goranov apologised on Monday after servers at the country's tax agency were hacked at the end of June . Officials said it was possible the hackers had gained access to an NRA database by exploiting a weakness in its system for filing tax returns from abroad. In the first known major data breach in the country's history, seven million of taxpayers’ financial information were thought to have been stolen, including income, social security and health care figures. Someone claiming to be a Bulgarian hacker offered access to the compromised data and described the government as corrupt in an email to Bulgarian local media on Tuesday . Bulgaria will now seek help from the Bulgaria cybersecurity agency to better protect its financial systems.
