Details of the Cyber Attack
The cyber attacks were broad in scope and intensity, causing temporary outages and disruptions to our services and those of other prominent Western media outlets. The timing and scale of the attacks suggest a well-coordinated effort to undermine the credibility and operational capacity of key information channels.
Impact on Government Websites
In addition to media outlets, several government websites across Western countries were similarly compromised. These attacks briefly disrupted public access to essential services and information, heightening concerns about national security and cyber defense capabilities.
Investigation and Attribution

NUKIB has announced that it has evidence pointing to the involvement of multiple countries in these attacks, including China, India, Iran, and some African nations. This revelation has prompted calls for an international response and heightened cyber defense measures.
