On Monday, July 29, 2024, Attorney General of the Republic Tarek William Saab revealed details of the investigation into alleged attacks against the data transmission system of the National Electoral Council (CNE), on July 28.
At a press conference, the head of the Public Prosecutor’s Office said that there had been attempts to sabotage the electoral process, not only through fake news on social media.
Details revealed on investigation into attacks against the CNE
In this regard, Saab indicated that a cyber attack was detected that slowed down the sending of votes for the national vote count.
In light of this, he stressed that they have opened an investigation and have appointed the 38th and 74th National Prosecutors to do so.
Saab also explained that according to the information gathered, the attack was allegedly carried out from North Macedonia and was intended to manipulate the data being received by the CNE.
“Fortunately, this action was not successful, but it slowed down the process and the announcement of the results. They wanted to tamper with the minutes,” he said.
He also confirmed that the Venezuelan fugitive from justice Leopoldo López and María Corina Machado appear to be involved along with him.
“The prosecutors are gathering evidence of these actions that attempted to adulterate the results,” he added.
On the other hand, he recalled that the CNE has reported that “in the next few hours, the results table by table will be available on the website, “as has historically been done thanks to the Automated Voting System.” This is what counts.”
