Members of the European Parliament were offered special bags to protect digital devices from spying and hacking during a visit to Hungary this week.
Five lawmakers from the parliamentary committee on civil liberties traveled to Hungary on Monday for a three-day visit to inspect the EU member state's progress in democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights.
A traveling lawmaker confirmed to POLITICO that parliament officials joining the delegation were provided with Faraday bags — special bags with metal amplifiers that block electromagnetic signals — by Parliament services and were also advised to be cautious about using public Wi-Fi networks or charging facilities.
Hungary has previously come under fire from EU lawmakers for its use of spyware. Parliament's special investigative committee on the use of spyware (PEGA) in 2023 conducted a fact-finding mission after discovering that the hacking software had been used against opposition figures, journalists and civil society in the country.
