Telegram Hack Exposes Growing Russian Cyber Threat in Moldova

BALKAN INSIGHT - A potentially damaging leak of alleged private Telegram conversations involving the president of Moldova and 2 cabinet ministers has further underscored the seriousness of the cyber threat that Chisinau says comes from Russia. The ministers and the office of pro-European President Maia Sandu say the content of the alleged conversations is fake, but Iurie Turcanu, Moldova's deputy prime minister in charge of digitalization, said the attacks themselves are real and increasingly sophisticated.
