Cabo Verde Telecom adopts measures to reinforce security after cyber attack<\/p>\n

\u201cWe adopted important measures to, first, isolate the problem and then normalize services, but normalize them in a very safe way \u201d, said, at a press conference in the city of Praia, the administrator of Cabo Verde Telecom ( CVT) Francisco Almeida, indicating that the company took \u201c dozens \u201d of measures, which it did not specify, as some had a specialty character and \u201c very high \u201d technicality.<\/p>\n

The engineer noted that the company has a team of 12 technicians \u201c with a lot of experience\u201d dealing with the matter and also has assistance from an international company specializing in security issues, which he also did not reveal the name or nationality of.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere, where it was necessary to intervene to manage this crisis situation, the right measures were adopted \u201d, said the person in charge.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the company said that the previous day it had been the target of a \u201cdeliberately malicious cyber attack\u201d , which affected mobile communications across the country, and is still investigating the causes and its origin, together with the police authorities. .<\/p>\n

Mobile top-ups for the prepaid service, mobile data, messages and authentication of the television service were some of the services affected by the invasion, and the administrator expected the systems to return to normal within the next 48 hours.<\/p>\n

\u201c This type of incident has its level of complexity and takes some time to fully normalize ,\u201d said the CV Telecom engineer, saying that there is no evidence that customer data has been compromised.<\/p>\n

In July, Cabo Verde Telecom merged the three group companies, creating a single brand, called \u201c Alou \u201d.<\/p>\n

The majority of the group’s capital is held by the National Social Security Institute (INPS) at 57.9%, with the state-owned Aeroportos e Seguranc\u0327a Ae\u0301rea (20%), Sonangol Cabo Verde (5%), the Cape Verde State Verdiano (3.4%) and other national private shareholders (13.7%).<\/p>\n

On November 26, 2020, the State’s Private Technological Network (RTPE) was the victim of a large-scale cyberattack with data blocking and ransom demand (called ‘ransownware’), which forced the temporary suspension of some public services.<\/p>\n

At the time, the Government of Cape Verde invested more than 1.8 million euros to strengthen the security of the country’s computer networks. The Week with Lusa<\/p>\n
