SOFIA: Hackers stole thousands of Bulgarians' personal financial data and distributed it from a Russian-based email in an attack possibly related to the purchase of new F-16 fighter jets from the United States, the government said on July 16.

The hackers accessed the National Revenue Agency's (NRA) systems on July 15 before sending local media confidential information purportedly from Finance Ministry servers, Interior Minister Mladen Marinov said.
