INSA intercepts cyber attacks targeting infrastructure, organizations

The Information Network Security Agency (INSA) reported that about 40 cyber attacks have been attempted on the country’s infrastructure and key institutions since June 2014. Director General of INSA Major General Tekleberhan Woldearegay told the parliament that many cyber attacks had targeted the country’s key resources and organizations.

He said that his office works relentlessly to protect the country and its institutions from attacks, wherever they may come from.

“Most of the attacks are viruses that purposely target to destroy the country’s infrastructure,” Major General Tekleberhan explained. “If the attacks had been successful, the damage would have been catastrophic. However, we were able to intercept the attempts.”
