The media officer of the Government of Kosovo, Përparim Kryeziu, has announced that after problems with the internet service, experts have concluded that it was a cyber attack that came from outside Kosovo. 

According to him, the attack did not penetrate the infrastructure, adding that currently the situation is stable. 

"Yesterday and today, there were occasional problems with the Internet service in the Institutions of the Republic of Kosovo. The cyber security sector team at the Information Society Agency in collaboration with external experts have identified that the problem with the internet service is a consequence of the cyber attack. The cyber attack did not penetrate the infrastructure of the state computer network as it was blocked by the relevant security equipment. It has been identified that the cyber attack came from outside Kosovo and the target was the IP where several web pages of the Institutions of the Republic of Kosovo were published. The Information Society Agency, namely the cyber security team, has undertaken concrete actions in order to overcome this cyber attack and return the internet service to function. At the moment, the situation is stable - the internet service as well as other online services and websites are functional and accessible. The cyber security team at ASHI will continue to monitor the security of government services and systems and will take the necessary measures for their smooth operation and security," he said.
