Moldova's Electronic Governance Agency activates mandatory update for EVO app

The Electronic Governance Agency (AGE) has activated a mandatory update for the EVO app. The measure is meant to ensure that all users use the latest version.

According to AGE, the measure will enable the prompt distribution of updates, including the ones that bring improvements and introduce additional security measures, ensuring that the app stays compliant with cybersecurity standards.

„If, when opening the EVO app, you receive a notification asking you to update, please accept it and always use the latest version of the EVO app. The notification displayed directly in the EVO app is official and is sent by AGE. It is not an attempted fraud,” the institution said.

AGE today informed that 61 digital public services had been restored and can be accessed through the www.evo.gov.md portal, while another 21 remain temporarily unavailable following the cyberattack on the governmental infrastructure. The institution noted that the remaining services would gradually be restored after the completion of security checks.

A massive cyberattack targeted the government’s digital infrastructure during October 19-23, this year. Hackers extracted the personal data of more than 750,000 citizens. The authorities assured the public that no unauthorized changes had been made to state registers and that bank card data had not been compromised.
