June 20 (Cointime) - The European Investment Bank (EIB), which is backed by the European Union (EU), has reported a cyber-attack that has impacted the availability of some of its key websites. While the bank's sites have been rendered inaccessible, Bitcoin and Ethereum have remained unaffected by cyber-attacks and continue to operate with almost 100% reliability and uptime.

The EIB is a significant player in the EU's financial infrastructure, being one of the largest multi-lateral lenders in the world and a top financier of efforts to combat climate change. The attack highlights the advantages of distributed and decentralized networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which remain resilient and process millions of dollars worth of transactions daily.
