Overall, there were 22% more cyberattacks compared to the previous year.

Omissions

• The MEP did not cite any source for the 22% figure.
• The 22% figure originates from Check Point Research, a commercial cybersecurity firm, not an official EU agency such as ENISA or Europol.
• The data reflects only Q2 2025 year-over-year change, not a full-year comparison as the claim 'compared to the previous year' suggests.
• The metric measures 'weekly cyberattacks per organization' across Europe broadly, not specifically the European Union.
• No full-year 2025 EU cyberattack data from official sources was found to corroborate or contradict the 22% figure.
