Hey Connie, some interesting points there. Your thoughts on the anti-virus stuff is true but I have to imagine that there just isn't all that much interesting to read! I think the government has always have *slightly* better information security at a national level than at a local government level but still poor. One key issue is that almost no government agency issues phones to people - so they use personal ones. It's probably an interesting problem for hackers since things are so decentralized and maybe that slows some things down. But realistically it also means that no one has any real idea how much has been penetrated.

And let's not forget that this isn't all about viruses and hacking. Most Moldovans have Russian made apps on their phones (Yandex for example) and the primary providers of things like security cameras are Chinese companies.

So it's probably fair to say the situation is not great from the standpoint of keeping secrets in cyberspace.
