Arreaza Calls Cyberattack on Cuban Foreign Ministry Imperial Clumsiness

Foreign Affairs Minister of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Jorge Arreaza, labeled as ”clumsy” the denial-of-services cyberattack perpetrated on Cuba by US imperialism, highlighting that this is another action that evidences a plan of aggression against the Republic of Cuba.

In his Twitter account @jaarreaza, Minister Arreaza wrote, “Another characteristic of the international incitement of aggression against #Cuba. Imperialism is clumsy enough to leave traces of its misdeeds.”

Minister Arreaza’s tweet referred to a public complaint made by the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs, via its Twitter account @CubaMINREX, where it was reported that ”the ministry has been suffering a denial of services (DoS) cyberattack in its website since July 11. This attack has generated false accesses into the website in large numbers, compromising our servers.”

Otra característica de la inducción internacional de la agresión contra #Cuba. El imperialismo es lo suficientemente torpe como para dejar rastros de sus fechorías. https://t.co/qxvFMVUcRU
