Citizens' movement asks the Government for clarifications on the attack on Nuno Melo's mobile phone
The Citizens for Cybersecurity initiative is urging the government to clarify the cyber attack on Defense Minister Nuno Melo's phone, emphasizing state communication security. Melo disclosed that his phone was compromised, allowing unauthorized use of his number. The initiative questions whether the device was personal or state-issued and why it lacked security updates. They seek confirmation of no access to classified information and whether the incident was reported to relevant security agencies. Recommendations include using state-managed devices, avoiding insecure apps, and implementing mandatory digital security training for government officials. The movement stresses that political cybersecurity is crucial for national defense.
