Recently, on behalf of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies, information was spread on social networks about the complete cessation of Internet access in the western regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan from 00:00 on December 16. The information has caused concern among the population.
We sent a request to the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies to find out whether the information is true. The ministry said the information did not reflect the truth. It was noted that the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies provides such information to the public through the media. "We ask citizens to trust only the information provided by official sources. When faced with such false information on social media accounts, do not share their screenshots and make them public.
They should also keep screenshots and other electronic evidence of cyber incidents and send them to us. "If they face any cyber incident or need methodological support, citizens can apply to the Electronic Security Service under the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies via www.cert.az or [email protected]," the statement said
