According to NÚKIB, the situation is absolutely critical at the moment, as the potential risk of unleashing a cyber war against Czech targets is increasing steeply.

The information we have at our disposal leads to reasonable concern about the real threat of cyber espionage and cyber attacks on important targets in the Czech Republic, especially on strategic public administration institutions, elements of critical information infrastructure, information systems of basic services or the media," stated specifically the director of NÚKIB Karel Řehka.
