The Minister of Popular Power for Science and Technology, Gabriela Jiménez, reported that 30 million cyberattacks per minute have received the pages of State institutions.

He pointed out that this type of attack has been carried out through an entire framework of technological infrastructures that have been funded to sustain cyberattacks for five to ten hours.

“Until yesterday we were receiving attacks, they did so with the Caracas Stock Exchange, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Central Bank of Venezuela, the SAIME, the SENIAT,” he said.

He stressed that “they are attacking sensitive and critical services in the Republic that have to do with the needs of the Venezuelan people,” he said, referring to the fact that this sabotage seeks to prevent citizens from being able to make a mobile payment to buy or receive money.

“Any report that circulates there indicating that there was no simple cyberattack in Venezuela is playing for the enemy, it is playing against the interests of the Venezuelan people,” he emphasized.
