The website of the Bulgarian National Assembly which was down late last night, is now online, the Bulgarian news agency BTA reports, quoting Minister of e-Government Alexander Yolovski. An investigation is ongoing into the source of the hacker attack.
What has happened once again raises the issue of the cybersecurity of the state institutions and calls for placing them under common protection, Minister Yolovski said. The authorities have made a sufficient amount of investments, and there is a project now functioning which affords a number of institutions protected access to the internet. During the past year alone, almost 80 hacker attacks have been dealt with, the most serious of them in July this year. The Ministry of e-Government is working on the centralization of all 13-15,000 registers and their digitization. The National Assembly is expected to set down a short deadline for the completion of this process – by March 2023, Minister Yolovski points out.
