Cyber-attaque contre le fisc : Pourquoi ce silence absolu ?
According to several Senegalese and foreign media outlets, Senegal has been facing a digital attack targeting the tax authorities for several days. Since then, operations have been at a standstill, as Senegal no longer has control over its system.
Thus, both revenue and expenditure are affected by the loss of control over management software. Cybercriminals located in Europe are demanding a colossal ransom of 6.5 billion. Sud quotidien, which gathered expert opinions, speaks of a loss of "11 billion CFA francs per day, or more than 50 billion in one week."
At the same time, it is noted that the Senegalese government remains silent on such a serious issue. Neither the DGID nor the Ministry of Finance, let alone the country's highest authorities, have provided any information on this subject. However, the duty of transparency should lead leaders to tell the people what the situation really is, the impacts to date, and the steps taken to resolve this situation.
Will Senegal pay the ransom or build another infrastructure, as some suggest? At what cost? Does Dakar have the means to recover its software without paying? What was done to prevent this attack? These are all legitimate questions to which citizens expect answers. Remaining silent also fuels rumors. However, the issue is sensitive enough to allow itself the luxury of chasing rumors. The government loses nothing by telling the Senegalese people the truth.
It's true that even the press doesn't seem to be making it a major issue. Which is curious, given the consequences, particularly the figures put forward by Sud Quotidien.

Cette attaque ciblée n'est pas fortuite dans un contexte de fraude massive sur nos finances publiques et de poursuites judiciaires.
Avec quelques dizaines de dollars, il est possible de faire appel à des hackers russes ou scandinaves pour s'attaquer à son propre pays. Connaissant macky Sall et ses sbires, ils sont capables du pire pour perturber le régime actuel.
Mais le Sénégal restera debout.
