Algerian News Agency Claims Cyberattack from Morocco, Israel

Morocco is accused of being behind the cyberattacks that targeted the website of the Algerian official news agency APS (Agence presse service).

In Algeria, the APS and the various public media claim that the Algerian official news agency has been the victim of an "acute cyberattack" coming "from several places, including Israel, Morocco and some places in Europe". As a result, the APS was forced to "deactivate the website". The agency also assures that the "database of the platform has not been affected", the technical procedures having made it possible to counter these cyberattacks.

This is not the first time that the APS websites have been the victim of a cyberattack. Our websites "have been the subject of several cyberattacks for a long time and are part of a cyber war against" Algeria, the agency recalls.
