TIRANA, December 28/ATA/ Minister of Finance and Economy Delina Ibrahimaj assured today the Albanians that the recent cyber attacks in the banking sector have not affected the accounts of the individuals.
“There have been reports that the banking sector has been under cyber attacks. I say, there are over 1 million attacks per month, which are daily attacks, either in the private sector or in the public sector. Now, the cyber war is a war that affects every sector, public and private, critical and non-critical infrastructure. The bank in question has made its communications and based on the communications, but also the communications we had with the governor of the Bank of Albania, there has been no touch of the individuals’ accounts”, she said.
The minister said that the banking sector is one of those sectors that have taken measures early on, in regard to cyber attacks and cyber security.
“The Albanian government, on the other hand, is undertaking a reform in this direction and building the entire infrastructure, which will monitor all the attacks that will come in the future, building a very good network for monitoring all these attacks that may happen in the future. It is a phenomenon that happens in all the countries of the world, as this is a kind of new war in the new epoch”, said the minister./p.s./
