On May 25, 2026, the State Information Technology Agency (SITA) refuted claims of a cyber attack on its systems, labeling them as misinformation. The agency confirmed that its ICT infrastructure remains intact and has not been compromised. SITA conducted a thorough assessment of its systems and found no evidence of unauthorized access or security breaches. Despite ongoing claims on social media, SITA emphasized that its security operations are active 24/7 and that all systems are fully operational. Acknowledging that one government department's website is down, SITA clarified that this is due to scheduled maintenance, unrelated to any cyber attack. The agency urged the public to rely on official communications for accurate information regarding government ICT security.
Key Points: • SITA confirms no cyber attack occurred, dismissing claims as misinformation. • All government ICT systems remain operational and secure, according to SITA. • One government department's website is down for scheduled maintenance, not due to a cyber incident.
