Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs issued a video statement on the social media platform X calling on the management board and supervisory board of the Road Traffic Safety Directorate (CSDD) to step down. The call came in response to a cyberattack that targeted the agency.
Response to the breach
The head of government characterized the attack as serious enough to warrant a change in the institution's top leadership. CSDD is the state agency responsible for vehicle registration, driver's licenses, and other road traffic-related services, meaning its systems hold a wide range of residents' personal data.
No further details about the nature of the cyberattack or its consequences have been disclosed so far. The prime minister's appeal reflects a political stance that responsibility for the incident should be borne at the highest level of the institution's management.
