Moldovan government rejects reports of electronic signature's compromise; preliminary investigation results do not confirm forgery
The government condemns the spread of information about an alleged compromise of the electronic signature after a Facebook post published by a representative of an NGO was picked up and amplified, including by more politicians. The preliminary results of the technical investigation show that the electronic signature is authentic and valid.
According to the government, the case originated with a post in which a citizen claimed to have identified, in the online bank account of the non-governmental organization they represent, a transaction they would not have carried out. It was a transfer between the organization’s own accounts, without the money leaving those accounts.
The author subsequently deleted the post, but the information continued to be shared online without prior verification of the facts. Among those who picked up the message, there were public figures, including MPs.
The preliminary investigation conducted by the Information Technology and Cyber Security Service (STISC) indicates that the information about the compromise of the electronic signature is untrue. The initial technical assessment confirms the authenticity and validity of the electronic signature, a conclusion supported by multiple technical data points.
Verification efforts will continue in the coming days, in order to establish all circumstances surrounding the incident.
The government criticizes the distribution of unverified information by public officials and urges citizens, politicians and other public actors to verify information before making it public. The authorities warn that false information and manipulation could undermine society’s trust in digital services.
