No successful cyber-espionage malware has been found on the Government of Guyana’s network according to the authority on such matters, the cybersecurity division of the National Data Manage-ment Authority (NDMA).
The NDMA made this disclosure in a release yesterday, in response to a recent claim made by a cybersecurity firm in an October 5 article, that in February, an unnamed Government of Guyana agency was the victim of a successful spear-phishing campaign that sought to compromise sensitive government data.
The authority reacted to this news by deploying its cybersecurity analysts and specialists to assess these claims. Investigations revealed that the cybersecurity firm “exaggerated the threat in their ‘exposé.’”
