These clarifications were provided by the e-Government Agency (AGE), which addressed various reports that had emerged in the public domain following the attack.
According to the agency, the unauthorised extraction of data does not mean that it has been deleted or altered in the state registers. Checks carried out so far have not identified any alterations to citizens’ information.
Furthermore, users do not need to delete the EVO app, as the attack targeted information systems and state registers, not accounts within the mobile app.
Citizens wishing to find out about the status of their own data may request clarification via an online petition on the eDemocratie.gov.md platform, at [email protected], or by submitting a written request to the AGE headquarters.
We would like to remind you that, previously, the Information Technology and Cyber Security Service stated that electronic signatures are also secure. The Minister of Finance, Victoria Belous, gave assurances that the banking system had not been affected either, whilst the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) stated that voters’ data had not been compromised, although it had temporarily deactivated the electronic petition service and dispensed with digital voter identification for Sunday’s local elections.
