Belarusian state security agencies told to pay close attention to cyberattack counteraction

National security agencies should pay close attention to counteraction to cyberattacks. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the relevant statement as he met with top officials and operatives of state security agencies on 15 March, BelTA has learned.

Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “I'd like to draw attention to attempts to stage cyberattacks against us that have been made. Those are akin to biological weapons and are even more powerful. They don't need tanks, machine guns, or high-precision missiles. Organizing massive cyberattacks against economic objects, subjects of any country will suffice for turning the country upside down.”

“This is why the KGB and other bodies should pay close attention to the relevant countermeasures,” the Belarusian leader said.
