The European Central Bank's website has been hacked and personal information has been stolen by a cybercriminal.
The ECB said most of the data was encrypted, but the contact information of registrants was not. According to the BBC, approximately 20,000 email addresses and a smaller number of phone numbers and physical addresses were lifted. Also stolen, in encrypted form, was "data on downloads from the ECB website."
