Moldova’s Prime Minister Vasile has alleged that a foreign state is responsible for a major cyberattack that compromised government databases and exposed citizens’ personal identification data. The breach, which involved unauthorized access to sensitive information, was confirmed by officials following an investigation. The prime minister stated that the list of suspected states is "not very long," indicating a narrow focus on specific foreign actors.
The attack is part of a broader pattern of cyber incidents affecting European governments. Officials have noted a rise in targeted hacking campaigns, with several countries reporting similar breaches in recent months. The Moldovan government has not yet disclosed the exact number of affected citizens or the full scope of data compromised. However, it has emphasized the need for increased cybersecurity measures and international cooperation to address the threat.
This incident follows a series of cyberattacks across Europe, including recent breaches in Poland and Romania. Experts warn that such attacks often target critical infrastructure and personal data, posing risks to national security and public trust. Moldova’s government is now working with international cybersecurity agencies to trace the origin of the attack and prevent future incidents. The situation highlights the growing challenge of state-sponsored cybercrime in the digital age.
