Moldova suspects state actor behind cyberattack, PM tells Euronews
Moldova Prime Minister Vasile told Euronews that a foreign state is suspected of hacking government databases and extracting citizens’ personal identification data. He said the list of suspects was "not very long". The attacks come amid wider cyber incidents across Europe.
The European Union must cooperate with the Republic of Moldova to combat cyber attacks and protect companies and citizens, said EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas. The official stressed that the recent incident involving approximately 750,000 IDNPs does not change the positive assessment of the European Commission on the country's European course, but reinforces the need for security cooperation.
The cyber attack that targeted the personal data of approximately 750 thousand citizens of the Republic of Moldova was possible due to a combination of technical and organizational vulnerabilities, some of which were exploited by attackers long before the failure occurred.
