Ransomware Attack Cripples Bosnia and Herzegovina Parliament

The government of Bosnia and Herzegovina has suffered a significant cyber attack that has crippled the operations of the country’s parliament.

Commenting on the news, Julia O’Toole, CEO of MyCena Security Solutions, said, “According to reports, this has brought the parliament in Bosnia and Herzegovina to a complete standstill. The website for the parliament has been rendered completely inoperable, while MPs have been told not to even turn on their computers. But, the consequences of this attack are far greater than just digital downtime. While these services are down, parliament workers are unable to perform their jobs, which will have a knock-on effect on other services and society. "

Estimated Cost
