The European Central Bank announced that its website had been hacked and some email addresses and other contact information had been stolen, but insisted that no market-sensitive data had been affected.
The theft came to light after the central bank received an anonymous email on Monday night demanding money in exchange for the addresses.
The hackers breached a database that stores details of people attending ECB conferences, visits and other events, the bank said. This database was kept separate from internal systems, it added.
“No internal systems or market-sensitive data were compromised,” the ECB said in its statement.
