Cyprus Under 'Cyberattack': Who is Telling the Truth?

Cyprus has been facing a wave of cyberattacks in recent days, which, according to official information, are 'simple' and 'harmless'. However, the author argues that downplaying the phenomenon does not make it less serious, but rather more dangerous. It is pointed out that even DDoS attacks send a political and strategic message, indicating that Cyprus is a target and vulnerable. The author raises questions about the state's preparedness, the honesty of information to citizens, and accountability in the event of an escalation. It is noted that the tactic of reassuring rhetoric has proven ineffective in the past, as systems collapse not from major attacks, but from neglect of minor ones. Taking into account Cyprus's geopolitical position and international relations, the author argues that managing the situation requires more than just low-key statements and communication balances. Cyprus is in an environment of increased risk and requires a more serious and proactive approach. Overall, the article expresses concern about the handling of cyberattacks in Cyprus and calls for greater transparency, preparedness, and accountability from the state.
