Attack. Citizens for Cybersecurity demand clarifications
The Citizens for Cybersecurity initiative urged the government to clarify the cyber attack on Defense Minister Nuno Melo's phone, emphasizing state communication security. They highlighted the need for transparency and questioned whether the compromised device was personal or state-issued. The initiative also sought confirmation of an independent forensic analysis regarding access to classified information and whether relevant authorities were informed. They recommended that government officials use state-managed devices, avoid insecure communication apps, and undergo regular digital security training. The movement stressed that political cybersecurity is a national defense issue, not just a technical concern.
