In early May 2025, Cyprus experienced a series of cyberattacks targeting key infrastructure entities. The Cyprus Telecommunications Authority (CYTA) and EKO Cyprus Limited, a prominent fuel distribution company, were among the organizations affected. These attempted cyber intrusions occurred on a Saturday evening but were successfully thwarted. This incident marked the fifth cyberattack against Cypriot entities within three days, raising concerns among relevant authorities. Earlier attacks targeted the website of Larnaca International Airport, the Bank of Cyprus, and the Cyprus Electricity Authority (EAC). In all instances, the attacks were successfully countered, and the websites resumed normal operations. Authorities believe these attacks aim to incapacitate critical infrastructure websites in Cyprus. Fortunately, no personal data has reportedly been compromised at this time.
