This was announced today by the local authorities stating that the attack was "supported by a foreign government" and that it came from the USA.
Some network equipment at the Wuhan Earthquake Monitoring Center was said to have been cyberattacked by an overseas organization, but the time of the attack was not specified, Reuters reports.

Challenges and threats in the field of digital security of the Russian Federation have increased dramatically since the beginning of the special operation, Medvedev said.
"A real war has been launched against Russia in cyber space, the sanctions pressure of hostile countries is constantly increasing," said the Deputy President of the Security Council.

Hackers from the Russian group NoName057(16) announced that they blocked access to the website of the Bulgarian Parliament, as well as to the port of Varna. In March of this year, the same group paralyzed the website of the French Senate, several institutes and the naval company Naval Group.

"In a regional aspect, Moscow's indirect attempts to create a second zone of instability in the Western Balkans, taking advantage of the existing problems and contradictions in the region, played a destructive role.

The research shows a prevalence of cyberattacks targeting critical online infrastructure, services and computers. Inadequate public awareness and cybersecurity policies, and limited regional collaboration, have exacerbated the challenges the Balkan countries face in combating cybercrime.

The Culture Ministry's website and computer systems have been down since Wednesday morning because of a cyberattack, authorities have announced.

The website and systems were taken down for security reasons after the attack, while tne ministry and the National Cybersecurity Authority are investigating. Authorities say they have found no stole data so far.

Experts see raising awareness among members of the public as vital to minimising the impact of such scams, but, said Adis Balota, a professor at the Faculty of Information Technologies in Podgorica, "alone this will not solve the cyber security problem".

The political upheaval surrounding the cyberattack on the Education Ministry's online platform commonly referred to as the Subject Bank, intended to establish a consistent nationwide standard for end-of-year high school exams, has diverted public discourse from more significant matters.

Greece's Supreme Court Public Prosecutor Isidoros Dogiakos ordered an investigation into a cyber-attack on the data bank providing the school exam questions, with the assistance of the Police's Cyber Crime Unit.

The Education Ministry has announced that it has fallen victim to the largest cyberattack in the country's history, with distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks being aimed at its centralized high school examination platform.
